When I think of July Christmas, 14 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,800 I think of think there was like a Marlboro cigarette special 15 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,240 where they would have special signage at the gas station that 16 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,040 was like welcome to the Marlboro Christmas in July. 17 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,720 And I'm like, OK, of course this is associated with a cigarette 18 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,000 brand in my mind.

And in Kimber's case, that's 30 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,440 that cavity that's open in the middle of your chest. 31 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,200 As you said, we are 5 episodes into Season 6. 32 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,680 We're just moving right along and we're going to have a 33 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,680 Christmas surprise. I don't think you'll be very 34 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,080 surprised by any of this. But they had to use some kind of 35 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,600 title. We are at Christine's rental and 36 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,549 we are packing for moving today. 37 00:02:15,557 --> 00:02:17,880 Move. Day move, day still. 38 00:02:17,888 --> 00:02:24,356 Packing and moving that day and they ull U in a van and a moving 39 00:02:24,356 --> 00:02:29,196 truck in front of the house and kind of get some like 40 00:02:29,196 --> 00:02:32,175 movements throughout the property, throughout the house. 41 00:02:32,175 --> 00:02:35,320 And Christine grabs a door and 42 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,080 she goes. They've scuffed a door already. 43 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,080 Yes, those kids will have to pay. 44 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,200 Kids. Yes, well, I mean, you know, 45 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,600 having children does ruin your life. 46 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,240 I've always had this but. Yeah, they scuff many a thing. 47 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,440 No, they're a blessing. A holiday blessing. 48 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,480 A Christmas blessing children ruining your belongings. 49 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,600 Oh, we. Just have this quick moment with 50 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,960 Christine where it's packing up some things. 51 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,680 There's going to be more than one load, blah, blah, blah. 52 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,080 We're at the house and then we go to Janelle's house, where 53 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,554 Maddie tells us that she's been enjoying being able to go to 54 00:03:03,554 --> 00:03:06,640 the new house to escape Hunter when he's driving her crazy. 55 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,200 And so it was a moment for Maddie. 56 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,400 We haven't gotten a lot of Maddie moments recently. 57 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,320 She was alert, awake and I don't think she was high. 58 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,120 No, she must have ejected herself for a while so that she 59 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,520 could live her best life. And we get a clip from Maddie 60 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,360 here. Surprise, surprise. 61 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,960 After many a clip last season, this is kind of a treat. 62 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,840 Yeah, I'm like Hunter must torment her or something. 63 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,760 I don't. Yeah, there's something there. 64 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,880 But as we know, Meri still does not have her house. 65 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,040 Oh no. And if the financing doesn't go 66 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,280 through, she may have to do other financing is what she 67 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,080 tells us. And I'm going is this even true 68 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,480 or just manufactured drama in the sense of the money? 69 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,360 I'm wondering if they were really suspecting that her 70 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,640 financing wouldn't come through or if it's like we've been 71 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,240 discussing in our previous episodes where she just took so 72 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,480 long that her paperwork is just in process and no one should 73 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,040 really be that worried about the financing. 74 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,520 It's hard for me to put my put my finger on it. 75 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,280 It is because they don't really talk about the process. 76 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,079 They kind of like hodgepodge together the process and give us 77 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:22,200 like tidbits about the paperwork was filed, the paperwork was 78 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,000 approved and when they bring this up, they say we still don't 79 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,920 know if they will even get financing on her home. 80 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,732 Which I don't quite understand. 81 00:04:32,740 --> 00:04:37,730 Well, and in the last episode, if we're on the actual timeline 82 00:04:37,730 --> 00:04:43,188 here, probably would have only been a day or two before some of 83 00:04:43,188 --> 00:04:46,540 the clips because they're talking about, oh, we just filed 84 00:04:46,540 --> 00:04:48,740 your paperwork. Mona's saying at the kitchen 85 00:04:48,748 --> 00:04:52,689 table where they're Dang Dingle dangling their feet at Chanel's. 86 00:04:52,689 --> 00:04:56,000 And it's like, I don't know, the 87 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,320 timeline is, is it Frank invited together or is it reality? 88 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,200 Because they could have been pulling clips from past, 89 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,480 present, future. Put that in there. 90 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,240 They tell us, though, that this episode is starting off on 91 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,120 January 2nd, that January 2nd is when the Brown family is going 92 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,880 to celebrate Christmas, which is a week after normal Christmas 93 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,520 or, you know, Christmas Day, blah blah blah. 94 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:30,440 So what we can take away from that is that Meri's time between 95 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:35,320 Christmas and New Year's was spent wondering if she was going 96 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,160 to be getting any notifications, and then that didn't happen. 97 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,840 They're giving Meri more time so that they can pretend that it 98 00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:45,760 happens for Leon on Christmas. Well, and the other wives 99 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,080 getting their keys right before Christmas, there is an element 100 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,920 of it's probably just too chaotic, too much to do 101 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,720 Christmas on Christmas Day and partnered with sparing Meri and 102 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,160 Leon's very, very, very sensitive and delicate feelings. 103 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,800 So when Kody shows up at Christine's house while they're 104 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,917 unloading and setting up the new place and being all excited 105 00:06:04,917 --> 00:06:10,000 and enthusiastic, he walks in and he goes, honey, I'm home. 106 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,240 And I was like, OMG, like, I love honey, I'm home. 107 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,480 I actually think it's kind of funny. 108 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,920 I probably would say it if I had anyone to go home to. 109 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,080 It's just funny that Kody says it and then immediately goes to 110 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,000 the kids and is like, oh truly, like, blah, blah, blah. 111 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,240 Not it. And it's all this like happy 112 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,080 moment, truly. My little Princess. 113 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,040 Didn't we just hear from Isabel about how he's not around and 114 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,000 they don't know where he is? Could be that he's that excited 115 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,760 to see them because it's been 2 weeks, I don't know. 116 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,320 I finally get to see my children that I'm avoiding that. 117 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,664 I'm avoiding like the Plague, as we will find out later, 118 00:06:48,664 --> 00:06:52,440 actually happens during the plague, yeah. 100 Christine 119 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,824 suggests that they start a company called the Brown 120 00:06:55,832 --> 00:06:58,800 Family Moving Company for how many times they've moved. 121 00:06:58,808 --> 00:07:02,080 They're just constantly moving and they're so good at it. 122 00:07:02,088 --> 00:07:06,218 And I'm like, OK, so Kody cannot be the president or the CEO of 123 00:07:06,226 --> 00:07:07,695 that company. It's got to be Meri. 124 00:07:07,703 --> 00:07:09,258 And then Meri's got to be the workers. 125 00:07:09,266 --> 00:07:12,368 Meri's got to be HR Meri has to be the entire thing. 126 00:07:12,376 --> 00:07:15,910 She does 80% of the work when they're moving and in this 127 00:07:15,918 --> 00:07:19,176 episode they show clips of them hauling things and moving 128 00:07:19,184 --> 00:07:21,241 things. And Meri's, I was like taking up 129 00:07:21,241 --> 00:07:24,195 the front or pushing up the back and I'm like, yes, Meri, 130 00:07:24,195 --> 00:07:26,383 like she could carry a couch on her own. 131 00:07:26,391 --> 00:07:30,459 She is so good at moving. They do keep showing clips of 132 00:07:30,467 --> 00:07:34,726 all of the boys, like the older boys moving big pieces of 133 00:07:34,734 --> 00:07:38,055 furniture together. And they show like a clip where 134 00:07:38,055 --> 00:07:41,560 Logan is just like standing in the middle of the piece of 135 00:07:41,568 --> 00:07:44,730 furniture, playing light as a feather, stiff as a board while 136 00:07:44,730 --> 00:07:46,594 his brothers carry on either end. 137 00:07:46,602 --> 00:07:50,298 And it's like, Logan, just fucking walk away please. 138 00:07:50,306 --> 00:07:53,930 That's so funny. Christine tells us that she 139 00:07:53,938 --> 00:07:57,516 won't miss her rental home with even one fiber of her body. 140 00:07:57,524 --> 00:08:01,182 So, you know, I get that there's places you move on from and 141 00:08:01,190 --> 00:08:03,636 you're like, I'm not going to, you know, I'm not going to say 142 00:08:03,644 --> 00:08:06,662 this place was terrible, but I'm not going to miss it at all. 143 00:08:06,670 --> 00:08:11,019 But not even one fiber of her hot pink knee length skirt. 144 00:08:11,027 --> 00:08:16,836 Not even one fiber of her brown tights, or not even a fiber of 145 00:08:16,844 --> 00:08:20,780 the Jean jacket or the white shirt with the black polka dots 146 00:08:20,780 --> 00:08:24,312 under it. You can't even spare one fiber 147 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,895 of your being, Christine. The layers alone. 148 00:08:27,903 --> 00:08:32,299 From that outfit, wow, sounds like there could have been some 149 00:08:32,299 --> 00:08:34,740 fibers to spare for her rental. Many a fiber. 150 00:08:34,748 --> 00:08:37,376 Many a fiber. Wow, thank you for that one, 151 00:08:37,385 --> 00:08:38,508 honey. That was good. 152 00:08:38,515 --> 00:08:42,094 Which of course queues up the typical flashback to the move to 153 00:08:42,094 --> 00:08:44,650 Las Vegas that we have to have every episode. 154 00:08:44,658 --> 00:08:47,560 Let's not waste anytime on that. They show us clips then moving 155 00:08:47,568 --> 00:08:48,996 to Vegas. We don't give a fuck. 156 00:08:49,004 --> 00:08:50,428 It's already happened, stop talking about it. 157 00:08:50,436 --> 00:08:53,200 Because then we get Kody talking about all of the hope that 158 00:08:53,208 --> 00:08:57,656 they've had along the way to get to where they are, and he's just 159 00:08:57,656 --> 00:09:00,356 saying Hallelujah, Hallelujah to where they're at. 160 00:09:00,364 --> 00:09:04,220 It's like all of these hopes and dreams along the way that we've 161 00:09:04,220 --> 00:09:06,664 had to get through along the Oregon Trail. 162 00:09:06,672 --> 00:09:09,840 Hallelujah, he says. Hallelujah. 163 00:09:09,848 --> 00:09:13,120 Hallelujah. What's it to you I'm. 164 00:09:13,128 --> 00:09:15,070 Just feeling very festive with the holiday. 165 00:09:15,078 --> 00:09:18,328 Excuse me, the Christmas spirit entering my body? 166 00:09:18,336 --> 00:09:26,172 Do you see what ice don't you? Honey, it couldn't be any worse 167 00:09:26,172 --> 00:09:28,680 than the spirit of Christmas entering and exiting my body 168 00:09:28,688 --> 00:09:30,457 repeatedly. It would have been good if I 169 00:09:30,465 --> 00:09:32,100 could have got there, but oh, she couldn't do it. 170 00:09:32,108 --> 00:09:36,099 She couldn't do it. We get an exterior shot of the 171 00:09:36,107 --> 00:09:40,016 cul-de-sac and the bottom third now says. 172 00:09:40,024 --> 00:09:45,380 Brown family cul-de-sac. I finally named the cul-de-sac 173 00:09:45,388 --> 00:09:49,288 and it was so creative. The Brown family cul-de-sac. 174 00:09:49,296 --> 00:09:54,022 But you know, as we discussed in our last episode, we were really 175 00:09:54,022 --> 00:09:56,264 beat over the head with the location disclaimers or 176 00:09:56,272 --> 00:09:59,269 notifications, whatever you want to call them, that those bottom 177 00:09:59,269 --> 00:10:01,528 thirds. And so this episode we got less, 178 00:10:01,528 --> 00:10:04,382 but there was still too many. Like every time they would go 179 00:10:04,390 --> 00:10:07,020 back to the cul-de-sac, they put it up and it's like, we know 180 00:10:07,028 --> 00:10:08,120 what this is. We remember. 181 00:10:08,128 --> 00:10:09,707 We get it, We got it. Good. 182 00:10:09,715 --> 00:10:11,767 Thanks for wasting our time, TLC. 183 00:10:11,775 --> 00:10:16,486 As you're listening to this podcast, thanks for wasting our 184 00:10:16,486 --> 00:10:22,577 time, TLC. We see Meri looking into a van 185 00:10:22,585 --> 00:10:26,070 window in the middle of the cul-de-sac. 186 00:10:26,078 --> 00:10:30,436 A minivan darling? Yes, a minivan and who be but on 187 00:10:30,436 --> 00:10:35,436 the other side of that window, then Leon behind the wheel. 188 00:10:35,444 --> 00:10:41,160 Leon behind the wheel. Staring longingly at their 189 00:10:41,168 --> 00:10:43,992 future home. It sounds like we went from 190 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,434 Christmas to Halloween like Scary Movie Leon behind the 191 00:10:47,442 --> 00:10:50,290 wheel. Meri is gentle parenting the 192 00:10:50,298 --> 00:10:54,708 shit out of Leon before gentle parenting was a thing. 193 00:10:54,716 --> 00:10:58,996 Oh, gentle parenting as opposed to rough parenting. 194 00:10:59,004 --> 00:11:04,672 As opposed to tyrannical parenting, Leon gets gentle 195 00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:08,952 parented. Even while Leon is being gently 196 00:11:08,952 --> 00:11:12,060 parented, they are seething. We can. 197 00:11:12,068 --> 00:11:14,872 I just wanted to say seething. With anger. 198 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,176 Well, Leon is staring up at that house at the end of the 199 00:11:19,184 --> 00:11:22,300 cul-de-sac, which is Meri's house, and Meri is apologizing, 200 00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:27,069 saying there's nothing that she can do about the situation. 201 00:11:27,077 --> 00:11:32,375 And then Meri asks, how do you feel about this? 202 00:11:32,383 --> 00:11:36,376 Leon admits that they're jealous and says I'm pissed. 203 00:11:36,384 --> 00:11:39,854 Off. Yeah, I'm pissed off. 204 00:11:39,862 --> 00:11:42,497 So aggressive. It's like you're sitting in a 205 00:11:42,505 --> 00:11:44,134 minivan staring at a house at a cul-de-sac. 206 00:11:44,142 --> 00:11:48,595 Like take it all in. To us Moi aggressive oh por 207 00:11:48,603 --> 00:11:51,070 favor. Crack off. 208 00:11:51,078 --> 00:11:57,718 Of course, Leon talks about being happy for the others, but 209 00:11:57,718 --> 00:12:01,426 that there's nothing that they can do to change things. 210 00:12:01,434 --> 00:12:07,500 Oh, and then Leon's crying and says it's just right there and I 211 00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:12,085 was like, Boo Hoo I. Just want to go inside. 212 00:12:12,093 --> 00:12:15,775 Yeah, the world's smallest violin was playing for Leon. 213 00:12:15,783 --> 00:12:20,580 And Meri's like honey, I'm just trying to talk to you, just. 214 00:12:20,588 --> 00:12:24,498 Trying to yeah, some of their back and forths. 215 00:12:24,506 --> 00:12:27,900 You're right, gentle parent. It's it's sounded like Meri. 216 00:12:27,908 --> 00:12:31,216 Meri's looking at Leanna going and how does it make you feel 217 00:12:31,224 --> 00:12:35,930 and what can I do to help you and how can I make that any 218 00:12:35,938 --> 00:12:38,022 better? I was like, bitch, you can't. 219 00:12:38,030 --> 00:12:40,380 You asked him to change the fireplace at the last minute, 220 00:12:40,388 --> 00:12:43,680 and now we're stuck here, sitting in the cul-de-sac in our 221 00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:45,223 van, looking through the windows. 222 00:12:45,231 --> 00:12:48,622 If you would have submitted your paperwork on the 19th instead of 223 00:12:48,622 --> 00:12:51,208 the 20th or whatever the dates would have been. 224 00:12:51,216 --> 00:12:54,617 And not tried to blow a builder Dan for more things to get fixed 225 00:12:54,617 --> 00:12:57,208 in your home that weren't even wrong to begin with. 226 00:12:57,216 --> 00:13:00,500 Oh man, you know, then maybe you wouldn't have been disappointing 227 00:13:00,500 --> 00:13:04,960 your child so greatly. We cut to the couch with 228 00:13:04,968 --> 00:13:08,485 Christine and Christine makes a valid point here. 229 00:13:08,493 --> 00:13:14,349 Christine says Leon has watched Janelle and I be able to have 230 00:13:14,357 --> 00:13:16,850 babies and Meri couldn't have that. 231 00:13:16,858 --> 00:13:21,960 They kind of go back and forth and they're they're giving Leon 232 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:27,656 grace about their reaction due to the fact that Leon has had a 233 00:13:27,656 --> 00:13:31,520 lot of disappointments, AKA not having siblings in their life. 234 00:13:31,528 --> 00:13:34,860 Plenty of siblings, just not Meri's children. 235 00:13:34,868 --> 00:13:37,660 Well, right. And Christine says this whole 236 00:13:37,668 --> 00:13:42,029 thing reminds me of that. And I was like, Kimber just said 237 00:13:42,029 --> 00:13:46,180 this in the last episode. You just pointed out that there 238 00:13:46,180 --> 00:13:49,838 was a similarity in that. There was a parallel in that. 239 00:13:49,846 --> 00:13:53,412 Because everybody keeps lying to Leon to placate them. 240 00:13:53,420 --> 00:13:57,344 I don't know. They think Leon's fragile. 241 00:13:57,352 --> 00:14:01,902 They think, what of Leon? Because Leon has been the only 242 00:14:01,910 --> 00:14:05,840 one in the family to completely declare that they want plural 243 00:14:05,848 --> 00:14:08,112 marriage and to follow the doctrine. 244 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:13,208 And Leon is the only one not to have any siblings. 245 00:14:13,216 --> 00:14:17,288 And Leon is the one with big emotions, just like Meri. 246 00:14:17,296 --> 00:14:22,563 And we all placate to Leon. And we kept our home in Lehigh 247 00:14:22,571 --> 00:14:27,740 just in case Leon wanted to go to school and stay there. 248 00:14:27,748 --> 00:14:31,584 Like there's this common thread, right? 249 00:14:31,592 --> 00:14:36,069 Some only child syndrome whatnotness in a family of 22, 250 00:14:36,077 --> 00:14:39,252 apparently. Perhaps, and Kody keeps saying 251 00:14:39,260 --> 00:14:44,080 the comment that we find odd about how they're being raised 252 00:14:44,088 --> 00:14:48,262 as siblings, but we find out more and more that even when 253 00:14:48,270 --> 00:14:52,980 they were living in the same home, since they were being 254 00:14:52,988 --> 00:14:57,200 raised by three different moms, they were being raised 255 00:14:57,208 --> 00:14:59,805 differently and separately and not as siblings. 256 00:14:59,813 --> 00:15:02,267 Nature versus nurture with this family. 257 00:15:02,275 --> 00:15:07,545 It's very interesting to me. Yeah, interesting throwback. 258 00:15:07,553 --> 00:15:13,295 Christine says she feels safe having all the kids around at 259 00:15:13,303 --> 00:15:15,960 the cul-de-sac while they're on the couch discussing, and Kody 260 00:15:15,968 --> 00:15:19,120 jokes about the block walls around their properties and how 261 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,343 it looks like a polygamist compound. 262 00:15:21,351 --> 00:15:27,264 Yeah, he points out that they're in a gated community with cinder 263 00:15:27,264 --> 00:15:31,201 blocks surrounding it, and they show a clip of all of the 264 00:15:31,201 --> 00:15:34,400 little kids in the middle of the cul-de-sac on rollerblades, 265 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,580 on Razor scooters, each doing their thing on the brand new. 266 00:15:39,588 --> 00:15:43,800 You remember how smooth roller skates were on brand new, like 267 00:15:43,808 --> 00:15:44,910 black. Asphalt. 268 00:15:44,918 --> 00:15:47,880 Rolled out asphalt. Oh, that's. 269 00:15:47,888 --> 00:15:50,846 A three bearing rollerblade, I'm telling you. 270 00:15:50,854 --> 00:15:53,870 Level 3 on new asphalt. Nothing smoother. 271 00:15:53,878 --> 00:15:55,886 Nothing smoother than my balls, baby. 272 00:15:55,894 --> 00:15:59,568 Oh, you took up landscaping all of a sudden? 273 00:15:59,576 --> 00:16:03,220 I did take offense to when you said that because I do 274 00:16:03,228 --> 00:16:04,216 landscape. Thank you very much. 275 00:16:04,224 --> 00:16:07,355 I know that you do, and I know this, which is so sorry. 276 00:16:07,363 --> 00:16:10,458 I'll apologize on air for making that joke about. 277 00:16:10,466 --> 00:16:13,040 Manscape with the manosphere. You know, I just didn't want to 278 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,528 be too cliche blah blah blah, fill in the blanks. 279 00:16:15,536 --> 00:16:20,224 So Kody makes a joke about how with the gated community and the 280 00:16:20,224 --> 00:16:24,660 cinder blocks surrounding them, it looks like a plague 281 00:16:24,660 --> 00:16:26,160 compound. Plague, Plague. 282 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:26,520 Plague. Plague. 283 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:32,560 And I think Janelle actually comes out and says compound for 284 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,800 the first time during. Compound Christine wishes Kody 285 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,640 would just keep thoughts like that in his head. 286 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:44,280 Yeah, don't say that, Kody goes it's just silly, like it's us 287 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,640 being silly. And Christine goes, it's not 288 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,200 silly. There's a negative connotation, 289 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,520 so Q the FLDS montage of the compounds. 290 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,880 Oh my God, Warren Jeffs photo flashes on the screen. 291 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,600 Oh, he's such a criminal. Well, he actually is. 292 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:04,800 I shouldn't laugh at that. He's terrible. 293 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,240 And behind locked gates is where those people were held, you 294 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,079 know, against their will. They were held captive well 295 00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:16,358 against their will and quotes. You know, the history, the 296 00:17:16,358 --> 00:17:19,640 whatever. Christine says that she does not 297 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:24,240 want to be related to any of that at all, and she says a 298 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,480 compound is the absolute opposite of what our homes are. 299 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,240 Yes, because the compound means fear and control and their 300 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,080 family and their homes are not full of fear and control. 301 00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:38,280 Opposite of that and there's freedom and we can all go 302 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,320 wherever we want here. We get a transition to Meri's 303 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,720 rental where she's packing, taping up some boxes, and then 304 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,640 we get a shot of her mom packing up some boxes. 305 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,920 Bonnie's visiting to help with the move. 306 00:17:53,920 --> 00:18:00,800 Bonnie's calling to town and I haven't watched the entirety of 307 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,520 this show. I have not even watched any 308 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,000 seasons from the episode that we're recording on. 309 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,320 I've just seen clips on TikTok or read the books at this point. 310 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:19,360 So I've never seen a shot of Meri's mother from the top of 311 00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:20,320 the head. Right. 312 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:26,298 So I was a little taken aback by the fact that Fanny is 313 00:18:26,298 --> 00:18:30,440 obviously losing her hair. And I just want to say to 314 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:37,160 anybody out there that is female presenting, if you are losing 315 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,560 your hair, I understand that it fucking sucks. 316 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,520 And I do swear by Neutrophil. I know it's super expensive. 317 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,640 They don't sponsor the podcast but I would recommend it. 318 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,950 Give yourself some fucking grace because genetics are a bitch 319 00:18:52,950 --> 00:18:56,920 and we cannot help that shit. So moving on from that, just 320 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,240 wanted to give some tips and tricks because losing hair 321 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,320 fucking sucks. I lost it after having babies 322 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,320 for a while. It's a bitch. 323 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,960 And maybe you wouldn't expect it from this podcast, but it's a 324 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,000 little bit of a cheap shot to be making fun of hair loss. 325 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,080 And so we're going to. You know, we give Kody a lot of 326 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,200 guff for his hair loss, but that's because he's so fucking 327 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,520 vain. And obsessed with it, yeah. 328 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,720 Absolutely. I think that it depends on the 329 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,280 person and you need to know, like when it's like punch to the 330 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,000 ear or kick to the kidney or a knife to the kidney. 331 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,600 And I do not want anyone to ever feel like we're picking on 332 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,040 people for their differences. You know this show. 333 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,040 The thing about it is they put themselves out there. 334 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,520 Kody is what we know he is. If you have this issue, 335 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,120 seriously don't feel bad and go to your doctor first because 336 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,360 might be something wrong. Like really truly. 337 00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:54,400 So take care of yourselves. Take care of yourself. 338 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,135 And we don't want any punching. 339 00:19:56,143 --> 00:19:58,577 We don't want any kicking. We we don't want Grandma Bonnie 340 00:19:58,577 --> 00:20:02,030 to get kicked in the tooth, no. We don't want Grandma Bonnie to 341 00:20:02,030 --> 00:20:04,280 get kicked in the tooth. That would be terrible. 342 00:20:04,288 --> 00:20:07,412 Oh. No, she'd have to wash her mouth 343 00:20:07,412 --> 00:20:12,052 in the wet bar. Oh God, Meri gets a call from 344 00:20:12,060 --> 00:20:16,350 Danny from Pinnacle Homes. I was like, oh, Danny, that must 345 00:20:16,350 --> 00:20:19,280 be what they called Daniel because they're so familiar, 346 00:20:19,288 --> 00:20:22,176 because Meri spent so much time with Daniel the builder. 347 00:20:22,184 --> 00:20:26,310 Well, I heard Danny and I was like, did Meri just go? 348 00:20:26,318 --> 00:20:31,060 Oh, Daddy. I was like honey, Danny. 349 00:20:31,068 --> 00:20:36,973 Danny but with their accent. It was very bizarre and I had to 350 00:20:36,973 --> 00:20:41,105 take a break there and it was not Daddy, it was Danny. 351 00:20:41,113 --> 00:20:44,160 And I was so proud of myself because I remembered Daniel the 352 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,884 builder. I remembered his name and I knew 353 00:20:45,884 --> 00:20:47,385 that she was saying Danny, not Daddy. 354 00:20:47,393 --> 00:20:50,120 I was having a lot of successful moments during this scene. 355 00:20:50,128 --> 00:20:54,104 Maybe I've been going through a dry spell, Daddy. 356 00:20:54,112 --> 00:20:56,980 Oh God. Oh my. 357 00:20:56,988 --> 00:20:59,880 But daddy, I mean, Danny tells them. 358 00:20:59,888 --> 00:21:04,960 That daddy Danny. Calls to let Meri know that he 359 00:21:04,968 --> 00:21:07,740 is ready for them to come take a tour because she probably 360 00:21:07,748 --> 00:21:10,528 pestered him enough and drove him crazy enough about. 361 00:21:10,536 --> 00:21:14,300 My mom is here and she's been through so much and I've been 362 00:21:14,308 --> 00:21:17,897 through so much and Leon's on the edge of a nervous breakdown. 363 00:21:17,897 --> 00:21:20,480 Can you please show us the home? 364 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,920 And Leon hasn't even fully seen it yet. 365 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,680 Right. We've seen footage of Leon 366 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,240 seeing these houses pretty much built. 367 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,000 So, OK, Leon hasn't been able to see your uneven pendant lights 368 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,320 and your crooked mantle. Leon hasn't been able to put 369 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,760 their own fake marble on the mantle to make sure that it's a 370 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,960 OK. Leon pulls out a protractor and 371 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,440 he's like, can I do anything? Can I? 372 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,280 Can I solve any problems? An Abacus. 373 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,080 An Abacus. Perhaps to calculate the 374 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,920 velocity of the corner that needs to happen this way and 375 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,360 that way to make it even. Look at us saying words and 376 00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:00,080 things. As they arrived to Meri's house 377 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,664 and they entered the home, there is sad, sad, sad music 378 00:22:04,664 --> 00:22:06,666 playing. And I was just kind of 379 00:22:06,674 --> 00:22:08,889 distracted by it because I thought, wow, you would think 380 00:22:08,897 --> 00:22:11,942 there was a death in the family. But it's just that they haven't 381 00:22:11,942 --> 00:22:15,413 moved into the house quite yet, and the builder is going out of 382 00:22:15,413 --> 00:22:18,505 their way to give them a tour of this home that he probably 383 00:22:18,513 --> 00:22:20,785 shouldn't even do. How many days before Christmas? 384 00:22:20,785 --> 00:22:21,760 Thank you, Daddy. 385 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,360 Oh, I think this. Oh, yeah, right. 386 00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:24,840 Is this before or after Christmas? 387 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,400 The real 10, Not the Brown Christmas after. 388 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,840 Betwixt the 2O Not much time. Not much time. 389 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:37,840 And so either way, Daddy Danny, hope that Robyn gave you enough 390 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,920 Bee Gees to pay for. This need a refund. 391 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,640 Leon compliments Meri's choices, specifically the counters and 392 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,160 the cabinets and the color choice. 393 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,520 Looks beautiful, mom. So beautiful. 394 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,160 I love this color. And then Leon says I don't want 395 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,480 to leave. Can we just stay here? 396 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,600 Where is Leon from all of a sudden? 397 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,680 I don't know, does this happen a lot? 398 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,640 Can we just stay here? I don't want to leave Mama. 399 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:09,480 It does happen. Can we? 400 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,640 Just stay here. It does happen, but you know, 401 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,320 OK. Well, remember said I was an 402 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,800 actress. Meri talks about how Leon has 403 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,244 been confused with the financing process, and Meri says she 404 00:23:20,244 --> 00:23:24,160 can't help with any clearing up because she doesn't understand 405 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,440 herself. Meri says she can't explain to 406 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,080 Leon why Janelle and Christine are in their homes and they're 407 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,280 not. And I went duh, because you 408 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,680 didn't get your fucking shit done, lady. 409 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,760 Like it's not some sort of mystical thing that no one could 410 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,880 ever know. It's like you were behind on 411 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,400 your shit or you asked for too much stuff for the home, or 412 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,320 both. And now you're making it sound 413 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,680 like, well, who knows what Janelle and Christine, what 414 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,640 those people did with their paperwork to make it work. 415 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,920 It's like, no, those people didn't do anything wrong with 416 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,160 whatever. You didn't get your shit in. 417 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,480 Well, right, that's the most disgusting part of this clip is 418 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,920 that Meri says Leon doesn't understand financing. 419 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,240 But that's not even just it. Leon thinks that nobody on the 420 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,160 job sites or the financing is doing their jobs because, OK, 421 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,800 all this stuff is getting done at the other houses, why isn't 422 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,000 it getting done here? The people are slacking on their 423 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,680 jobs here. Meri kind of goes along with 424 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,520 this and just says, well, they don't understand how these 425 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,640 people's jobs work and neither do I. 426 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,600 And like Meri is putting it off on somebody else. 427 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,400 Yep, absolutely. Putting it off on somebody else, 428 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,480 as they always do. And I have a feeling that Meri 429 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,200 is telling Leon that they're not doing their jobs instead of 430 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,880 taking ownership. I think so as well. 431 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,000 I mean she says so out loud. It's literally she's blowing 432 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,640 smoke up everybody's skirt. That's the gist of what it's 433 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,320 going to come down to and that she's trying to hide She. 434 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,720 Didn't get her shit done and now it's all just a mystery to her 435 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,920 how it just isn't done. And Leon, they are doing their 436 00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:01,800 jobs. And just because they're doing 437 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,720 them over there doesn't mean they're not doing them over 438 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,320 here, even though we're not over there where we want to be. 439 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,400 My God. And all of a sudden it's 440 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,720 nighttime and Kody pulls up to Meri's rental for a family 441 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,760 meeting. Oh, everyone's sitting around 442 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,360 the table. Another family meeting. 443 00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:18,880 This family loves a family meeting. 444 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,040 And they start talking about Christmas and what this means 445 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,760 and how they're going to do their Christmas. 446 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,690 And they chat about putting up a tree at Janelle's house 447 00:25:27,690 --> 00:25:30,840 because she happens to have a Christmas tree. 448 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,360 Of all the wives. I think that's kind of funny. 449 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,440 It is Christmas morning. We'll be at Janelle's as Kody is 450 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,760 rolling up to the house, like quite literally with his bag. 451 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:46,640 Kody says, this may be the last time I drag my luggage here. 452 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,000 Let's hope so. Dragging his roller bag up the 453 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,640 sidewalk and it's like boom, bouncing over each crack in the 454 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,320 sidewalk. And he's literally just on 455 00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,440 camera. And they're showing that 456 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,640 happening. And it reminds me of middle 457 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,520 school when the people that would show up that like weren't 458 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,280 cool had roller bags instead of backpacks. 459 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,680 Well, you were so cool, honey. You were so popular. 460 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,320 No, I knew it wasn't cool because I had to hide the fact 461 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,720 that I wasn't popular. Yes, you knew to leave your 462 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,360 roller bag at home. I fucking knew it, but that 463 00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:22,480 bitch wanted to come so bad. While they're at this family 464 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,840 meeting, you would think maybe they're here to discuss their 465 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,560 enterprise, my sister, wife's closet, or to continue Christmas 466 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,920 planning. But no, no details about those 467 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,360 things other than this special activity for Christmas. 468 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,160 He talks about how every year his mom would make caramels for 469 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,760 Christmas. I need to say caramels because 470 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,800 they say caramels, and I say caramel because I prefer the 471 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,280 formal. But I'll try to remember that 472 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,840 it's caramels. But this year, Kody's mom can't 473 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,200 make them. We don't know why she's just 474 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,640 unable to perform her duty. Probably that arthritis from 475 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,112 cooking for the family for her. 476 00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:02,200 How many goddamn decades? Is the ranch mom? 477 00:27:02,208 --> 00:27:05,984 Oh, but don't fear everyone, she's sending her recipes. 478 00:27:05,992 --> 00:27:11,325 So Kody suggests all the wives can make her caramels and he 479 00:27:11,333 --> 00:27:14,982 says if someone can make caramels better than my mom then 480 00:27:14,982 --> 00:27:17,966 they are worthy of being my wife. 481 00:27:17,974 --> 00:27:26,124 And everyone laughs and I held down the vomit. 482 00:27:26,132 --> 00:27:30,895 They make a joke about how, oh, we'd be doing this the day of. 483 00:27:30,903 --> 00:27:34,690 And Kody's like, well, yeah, that's what I was thinking. 484 00:27:34,698 --> 00:27:39,504 And I'm like, do you even know how people make caramel? 485 00:27:39,512 --> 00:27:44,594 Like, it is not an easy process. Plus it has to cool and harden. 486 00:27:44,594 --> 00:27:46,400 Like, you might be making that 487 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,440 caramel in the morning and then it's like 10 hours later. 488 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,080 We're trying these like, oh. OK. 489 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,920 Kody, come on, Your mom's been making it for forever and you 490 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,720 don't even know how it's made. Yeah, that makes sense, 491 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,920 actually. Kody's like it's an annual 492 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,360 tradition. My mother, I do it every year. 493 00:28:03,360 --> 00:28:05,880 I have no idea what it takes. I just eat it. 494 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,760 I was out with the boys chopping wood in the forest. 495 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,560 Yeah, burying dead animals, that's what he. 496 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,080 Burying dead animals and cutting firewood. 497 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,280 Chopping down those trees, Janelle tells us that she has a 498 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,280 secret weapon. Her mom, Cheryl, is visiting for 499 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:27,280 Christmas and Cheryl has some extra special insight into 500 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,520 making this caramel because, oh, Cheryl has helped make this 501 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,080 caramel before. Not because she's a neighbor, 502 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:38,297 not because she's a good friend, but because she is Kody's 503 00:28:38,297 --> 00:28:42,280 mom's sister wife. And this is where Janelle gives 504 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,200 us a little bit of back story about her mom meeting Kody's dad 505 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,200 in this kind of situation that some of us are aware of. 506 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,600 Because if you've read their book, and if you've been in the 507 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,160 Sister Wives universe for a while, you kind of know the 508 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,745 sordid history of these people. 509 00:28:57,753 --> 00:29:02,360 They bring it up when they visit the parents ranch earlier on in 510 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,480 the. Series. 511 00:29:03,488 --> 00:29:04,680 That's true. That's true. 512 00:29:04,688 --> 00:29:07,320 And it's kind of glossed over there a bit. 513 00:29:07,328 --> 00:29:10,144 This is like maybe the second time they're talking about it. 514 00:29:10,152 --> 00:29:14,092 And we find out that Janelle's mom was worried that Janelle was 515 00:29:14,092 --> 00:29:17,815 getting involved with a cult. Right when she was friends with 516 00:29:17,815 --> 00:29:20,992 Kody and Meri. Just even friends they weren't 517 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:26,100 even courting yet, supposedly. So then Janelle's mom Cheryl 518 00:29:26,108 --> 00:29:33,401 with an S comes to meet Kody's dad and ends up falling in love. 519 00:29:33,401 --> 00:29:36,640 So now we have got Kody's mom's 520 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:41,080 sister. Wife is Janelle's mommy. 521 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,240 Mommy. Mommy had to make it creepier 522 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,960 than it already fucking is because. 523 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,760 Thank you for that. Janelle's mom is Kody's stepmom. 524 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,280 Yes, well, I mean, it is Christmas. 525 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,280 They can't just come out and say that to us, though. 526 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,360 No. But we do get a really cute 527 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,120 quote from Mama when she's standing by her car and she says 528 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,600 when in this competition, I'm not sure I'm the secret weapon, 529 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:14,200 but I can try I guess. Oh, Cheryl, you know, this is 530 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,280 the second time at least that they've talked about it. 531 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,160 Another opportunity for them to give us anything real. 532 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,600 They don't. It's very whitewashed, very 533 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,320 glossed over. It's like OK so we find out that 534 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,840 Janelle's mom fell in love with Kody's dad so. 535 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,640 But they say it weird so that doesn't really register they. 536 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,680 Say it in a way so we don't connect those dots quite 537 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,200 clearly, Kody says. So Cheryl is my mom's sister, 538 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,920 wife. Instead of saying so, Cheryl's 539 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,480 my stepmom. It's like caramel caramel, 540 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,440 right? The other thing that just 541 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:48,480 crossed crossed my mind, girl, girl, is that Jenelle, previous 542 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,880 to being married to Kody, was married to Meri's brother. 543 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:58,800 Meri comes from cult family. Jenelle was already married to a 544 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,000 member of the cult. So even the details they give 545 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,520 that make you go, oh, well, it seems rational and reasonable 546 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,440 that Jenelle's mom would say, hey, I don't want you joining a 547 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:08,920 cult. I'm here to we're going to do an 548 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,200 intervention. We're going to stop you. 549 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,320 Well, she was already married to Meri's brother before she was 550 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,840 married to Kody, so that it just seems weird. 551 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,840 Whoa. Because yeah, the timing is 552 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:25,040 weird and it's Criss crossing on so many directions. 553 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,240 And it makes even less sense because I always could 554 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,800 understand and rationalize that you would want to protect your 555 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,400 daughter from joining a cult if you were actually concerned. 556 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,000 Yeah, but your daughter was already married to one of these 557 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,280 family members, so it just, it feels like all of their stories. 558 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,760 Just lies. It's hard to believe them. 559 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:50,320 Liars, liars, liars. Meri and Robyn will be making 560 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,920 caramels together. Oh, excuse me, Caramels together 561 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:58,160 because Meri doesn't even have a kitchen, which of course she 562 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,880 lives in a rental home with a kitchen and Robyn has a kitchen, 563 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,680 so this is just bullshit. I'm not sure if this entire 564 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:05,961 thing was set up by production. 565 00:32:05,969 --> 00:32:07,830 I don't know. I don't know why Meri and Robyn 566 00:32:07,830 --> 00:32:09,300 had to work together on this, but. 567 00:32:09,308 --> 00:32:13,294 Well, when Kody announces the competition, Robyn is just 568 00:32:13,302 --> 00:32:15,640 beside herself. Oh yeah, because Robyn can't 569 00:32:15,648 --> 00:32:18,525 microwave popcorn, so. Yeah, Robyn literally can't even 570 00:32:18,525 --> 00:32:23,040 believe that Kody is serious and wants them to do this, and 571 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:27,728 she's sitting at the table as he talks about a perfect his 572 00:32:27,728 --> 00:32:32,290 mama's caramels are, and she's just like, shit in her pants. 573 00:32:32,298 --> 00:32:37,005 Yeah, I think that's why she was like, oh, Meri, you don't have a 574 00:32:37,005 --> 00:32:39,555 kitchen, you can use mine. Yeah, we can be together. 575 00:32:39,563 --> 00:32:42,365 If you need me to boil water, you're going to have to teach me 576 00:32:42,365 --> 00:32:44,543 how. Because then if we win, I get 577 00:32:44,551 --> 00:32:48,380 credit for it, but if we lose, it's also a funny story and I 578 00:32:48,388 --> 00:32:51,828 don't have to get credit for it. Robyn always comes out a winner 579 00:32:51,828 --> 00:32:53,374 in Kody's eyes. Yeah, no kidding. 580 00:32:53,382 --> 00:32:55,560 Even though she's a loser in everybody else's. 581 00:32:55,568 --> 00:32:59,192 Yep, when talking about this competition and getting his 582 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,060 wives, you know, pinning his wives against each other once 583 00:33:02,068 --> 00:33:04,708 again but through a playful activity ha ha lol. 584 00:33:04,716 --> 00:33:09,489 We get a sound bite moment from Kody where he says you may be 585 00:33:09,497 --> 00:33:13,370 thinking I'm a misogynist pig right now but you don't 586 00:33:13,378 --> 00:33:17,450 understand my genius. It's about getting more caramels 587 00:33:17,450 --> 00:33:22,362 and I'm like, my God, is there anything this man won't say and 588 00:33:22,362 --> 00:33:25,200 is there anything TLC won't put on the show? 589 00:33:25,208 --> 00:33:28,798 Because using women to make you candy and manipulating them to 590 00:33:28,806 --> 00:33:31,816 get more of that candy is literally the definition of 591 00:33:31,824 --> 00:33:34,010 having your cake and eating it too. 592 00:33:34,018 --> 00:33:37,100 Well, and it's and it's like a harmless example in a sense. 593 00:33:37,108 --> 00:33:39,707 I mean, it's literally supposed to be a playful competition 594 00:33:39,715 --> 00:33:41,560 thing. It's not like, you know, 595 00:33:41,568 --> 00:33:44,280 actually underhanded in nature as far as we can see. 596 00:33:44,288 --> 00:33:47,276 And so for him to be saying this, it's like, of all the shit 597 00:33:47,276 --> 00:33:49,360 you've done in this show, this is what you're going to point 598 00:33:49,368 --> 00:33:51,240 out is that makes you look like a misogynist? 599 00:33:51,248 --> 00:33:54,065 I don't think so. I think it's a lot of other 600 00:33:54,073 --> 00:33:55,636 things. The other thing that I would 601 00:33:55,644 --> 00:33:58,877 like to point out is that Kody says that his mom makes the best 602 00:33:58,877 --> 00:34:01,280 caramels in the world. So he's already upping the 603 00:34:01,288 --> 00:34:03,529 stakes. Like now you're getting compared 604 00:34:03,529 --> 00:34:08,364 to my mom and every other woman out there knows how little 605 00:34:08,364 --> 00:34:13,000 they ever want to be compared to their husband's mom. 606 00:34:13,007 --> 00:34:17,464 Like it's, it's a little weird. It's a little Freudian. 607 00:34:17,472 --> 00:34:19,735 One of the benefits of being single? 608 00:34:19,744 --> 00:34:24,489 We transitioned to Christine's house in the AM and she tells us 609 00:34:24,489 --> 00:34:27,335 it's the morning of Saint Lucia's Day, St. 610 00:34:27,344 --> 00:34:29,000 Lucia's Day. Saint Lucia's. 611 00:34:29,007 --> 00:34:32,719 Day, St. Lucia's Day, which is a 612 00:34:32,728 --> 00:34:36,496 Scandinavian holiday. They do it every year where the 613 00:34:36,496 --> 00:34:38,630 oldest daughters make breakfast for the family. 614 00:34:38,638 --> 00:34:41,592 And I'm putting daughters in quotes right now because not 615 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,783 everyone that's going to participate is a daughter today. 616 00:34:44,783 --> 00:34:47,159 But also, it's a holiday where 617 00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:50,920 the oldest girl of the family makes breakfast for the whole 618 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,360 family, not daughters. Oh, the oldest. 619 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:58,640 So this is a polygamous family, so there's four girls to help. 620 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:06,120 In a normal, dare I say Scandinavian family, it would be 621 00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:09,800 1 eldest daughter making breakfast. 622 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,440 Enslaved. For who knows how many fucking 623 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,520 people, 7. I don't know. 624 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,000 How many times have you had a sibling born? 625 00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:21,680 They're the oldest. I've never celebrated St. 626 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,320 Lucia's Day and I've never had, I mean, my family's only half 627 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,560 Scandinavian. So we're looking at this from 628 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,000 like the normal lens. Normal. 629 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,668 I say that in quotes as always. 630 00:35:31,676 --> 00:35:35,430 Now they say daughters. So they're scooping 4 of them up 631 00:35:35,430 --> 00:35:38,375 because you know, they would need that for how many kids they 632 00:35:38,375 --> 00:35:40,336 have. But it's they're manipulating 633 00:35:40,344 --> 00:35:43,680 another holiday for the fun of it. 634 00:35:43,688 --> 00:35:46,554 But also I. Mean they're just Co opting it 635 00:35:46,562 --> 00:35:47,778 in a way that works for their family. 636 00:35:47,786 --> 00:35:51,500 I mean is it so bad other than the like enslaving your? 637 00:35:51,508 --> 00:35:54,990 Daughter sexism times 4. I would argue it's 1000 times 638 00:35:54,998 --> 00:35:57,231 worse 4. Times the sexism. 639 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:02,788 You get 4 times the stint in gel or hell. 640 00:36:02,796 --> 00:36:06,900 OK they seriously why? Because. 641 00:36:06,908 --> 00:36:10,020 They're traditional darling. Well, we come from this quote 642 00:36:10,028 --> 00:36:12,870 from Kody. Don't call me a sexist pig to 643 00:36:12,878 --> 00:36:15,200 this. And either the producers want 644 00:36:15,208 --> 00:36:19,658 them to look bad, or they don't realize that they just naturally 645 00:36:19,658 --> 00:36:21,860 look bad. I think it was the latter and 646 00:36:21,868 --> 00:36:25,318 the producers just lucked out. Honey, were you ever forced to 647 00:36:25,326 --> 00:36:26,738 make breakfast on Saint Lucia's Day? 648 00:36:26,746 --> 00:36:29,441 It sounds like you are harboring some previous resentments. 649 00:36:29,449 --> 00:36:33,960 No, thank God, I'd never heard of this holiday until this 650 00:36:33,968 --> 00:36:36,099 episode. And that's why I slammed the 651 00:36:36,107 --> 00:36:41,160 pause button so hard with my big toe that it just, I don't know 652 00:36:41,168 --> 00:36:43,720 it. Flew across the. 653 00:36:43,728 --> 00:36:46,172 Room. That remote just shot across the 654 00:36:46,172 --> 00:36:47,812 room. You know, hopefully you'll have 655 00:36:47,812 --> 00:36:50,184 an opportunity to move on soon, maybe through some therapy. 656 00:36:50,192 --> 00:36:52,805 I can understand this is one of those things where it's like, 657 00:36:52,813 --> 00:36:54,870 oh, it used to be fun. We don't do it anymore. 658 00:36:54,878 --> 00:36:58,490 The oldest in the family, boy or girl, has to make breakfast for 659 00:36:58,490 --> 00:37:01,730 the family. But I can't believe that anybody 660 00:37:01,730 --> 00:37:05,636 would still be celebrating this and respect their 661 00:37:05,636 --> 00:37:08,080 daughter's mother's, aunts, whatever. 662 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:08,320 Right. Well. 663 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,680 So we find out that there are actually going to be four 664 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,640 daughters joining. We kind of assumed they might 665 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,760 include Robyn's eldest, but they do come clean out and say it. 666 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,815 Aspen, Maddie, Leon and Aurora. 667 00:37:23,823 --> 00:37:28,040 All four get to make breakfast like it's a gift. 668 00:37:28,048 --> 00:37:31,450 They don't have to. They get to the gift to the 669 00:37:31,458 --> 00:37:32,105 family. Labor. 670 00:37:32,113 --> 00:37:36,900 So the four of them are getting to make breakfast and they're 671 00:37:36,908 --> 00:37:40,205 going to make crepes. Tasty. 672 00:37:40,213 --> 00:37:46,358 And the only way you could ever serve a crepe breakfast to an 673 00:37:46,366 --> 00:37:51,210 entire family is buffet style with trays. 674 00:37:51,218 --> 00:37:56,932 And this is where shit gets real, real quick. 675 00:37:56,940 --> 00:37:59,400 Oh yeah, passions heat. Crepes. 676 00:37:59,408 --> 00:38:00,770 Burn. Well, actually there was a lack 677 00:38:00,770 --> 00:38:01,852 of heat. And no, there was heat. 678 00:38:01,860 --> 00:38:03,840 It was. Too, there was direct an excess 679 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:04,960 of heat. Thank you. 680 00:38:04,968 --> 00:38:08,140 Thank you. So what are these? 681 00:38:08,148 --> 00:38:10,090 They're pans, the aluminum disposable. 682 00:38:10,098 --> 00:38:14,200 So there's a name for it, I can't remember the name, but 683 00:38:14,208 --> 00:38:16,030 essentially there's two aluminum pans. 684 00:38:16,038 --> 00:38:21,280 The lowest has some water in it, the top has the food in it, and 685 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,248 then there's like a candle, like a little kerosene candle 686 00:38:24,256 --> 00:38:26,360 underneath. So it heats the water, which 687 00:38:26,368 --> 00:38:29,708 spreads the heat to heat the entire piece of food or whatever 688 00:38:29,708 --> 00:38:33,775 is in there. Yeah, this is one of those 689 00:38:33,783 --> 00:38:36,714 situations where you can't help it. 690 00:38:36,722 --> 00:38:38,400 Someone's just going to look bad. 691 00:38:38,408 --> 00:38:43,012 Maddie has been just ragging on everyone. 692 00:38:43,020 --> 00:38:46,615 Hey, there needs to be water between the two layers or the 693 00:38:46,623 --> 00:38:51,000 food is going to burn. I remember Christine telling me 694 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,586 that, and every single other daughter, Aspen, Leon, Aurora is 695 00:38:55,586 --> 00:38:59,192 kind of fighting her, like we don't remember hearing water. 696 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,700 So they start lighting the things and then of course they 697 00:39:03,708 --> 00:39:09,280 start to smell something burn and Maddie gets to shove it in 698 00:39:09,288 --> 00:39:14,660 everyone's face. Fair enough, but who is the one 699 00:39:14,660 --> 00:39:21,440 that actually lit the burners and decided that their decision, 700 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,140 their highway. Get off it with or without water 701 00:39:25,140 --> 00:39:27,680 terms. Is it Aurora? 702 00:39:27,688 --> 00:39:30,720 Nope. Is it Aspen? 703 00:39:30,728 --> 00:39:34,820 Nope. Oh, is it the Ghost of Christmas 704 00:39:34,820 --> 00:39:37,341 Present? It is Leon. 705 00:39:37,349 --> 00:39:40,902 Oh, it's Leon. And they pointed out that, hey, 706 00:39:40,902 --> 00:39:45,485 it was Leon that made the decision, and Leon just can't 707 00:39:45,493 --> 00:39:50,041 handle that and yells I did it, I'm sorry guys. 708 00:39:50,049 --> 00:39:56,162 And storms off. Thank you for the storm off 709 00:39:56,170 --> 00:39:59,338 sound effects that sound like a horse trotting away. 710 00:39:59,346 --> 00:40:02,854 Coconuts tapping together, Monty Python style. 711 00:40:02,862 --> 00:40:05,780 Definitely slammed down some shit on the stove and then 712 00:40:05,788 --> 00:40:08,255 turned around and booked it out of that room. 713 00:40:08,263 --> 00:40:11,408 Like my attitude is here. Listen to it. 714 00:40:11,416 --> 00:40:13,889 I'm pissed.

Imagine that. 743 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,760 So exciting and new. But sometimes Leon's not upset. 744 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,280 It's, you know, hot and cold up and down here and there all 745 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,040 around the square. And Kody says, well, sounds like 746 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,880 you, Meri. Sounds like you, Meri. 747 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,240 It feels like it's more about you, Meri, and how you're 748 00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:02,880 reacting to Leon. And he tells Meri I'll handle 749 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:04,600 it. I can handle this. 750 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,280 It's a little crummy that he's like, oh, you're making this 751 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,840 about you instead of about your child. 752 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,040 Yeah, it has vibes of a little like mansplaining or a little 753 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:16,800 like, let me tell you about how it is. 754 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,000 But I hate to say it, I kind of agree with him. 755 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,520 It's like, Meri, you just seem to be coddling when it's not 756 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,720 necessary and making things worse in many ways, withholding 757 00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:31,360 things and kind of ushering Leon along even in her statements. 758 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,800 Well, Leon's upset sometimes and sometimes not. 759 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,960 And I don't get it. It's like, Meri, you don't get 760 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,680 anything. You just pretend like you don't 761 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,760 understand these things when really you should very clearly 762 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,360 understand what's going on. But there are two peas in a pod, 763 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,760 as we said in our last episode of this pod. 764 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,680 I have a hard time with this because it sounds like Kody's 765 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,560 like, oh, you're just too emotional. 766 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,560 Like God forbid you a period the bears will come. 767 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:58,000 And then he sounds also like he's just being realistic and 768 00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,956 like, hey, you're emotional too. 769 00:42:59,964 --> 00:43:04,361 Quit making about yourself because it's about our child and 770 00:43:04,361 --> 00:43:08,104 you're both emotional. Yeah, and then Meri says some 771 00:43:08,112 --> 00:43:12,820 weird shit, talking about how she understands now that she has 772 00:43:12,820 --> 00:43:14,762 a teenager. She's had a teenager for a 773 00:43:14,770 --> 00:43:17,970 couple years, and now she knows what it must have been like for 774 00:43:17,970 --> 00:43:25,606 Kody to deal with her. I see me in them so much. 775 00:43:25,614 --> 00:43:30,550 Oh God. Meri just goes on and on about 776 00:43:30,558 --> 00:43:33,770 how she's been trying to do better, trying to be better 777 00:43:33,778 --> 00:43:37,335 because of how hard it is to deal with Leon and realizing it 778 00:43:37,335 --> 00:43:42,532 must be just as hard to deal with her and kind of talks about 779 00:43:42,532 --> 00:43:46,270 it for a bit. And then there's a 2 camera 780 00:43:46,278 --> 00:43:48,520 where Kody says, baby, Meri's being dramatic. 781 00:43:48,528 --> 00:43:52,537 You just don't know. And this is The thing is like, 782 00:43:52,545 --> 00:43:55,141 you just don't know is Meri. Meri is dramatic. 783 00:43:55,149 --> 00:43:57,400 She's always upset. She's always all over the place. 784 00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:58,720 And so now when she's talking 785 00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:02,000 about her child who's always upset and all over the place is 786 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,240 the story that you're both are all upset and all over the 787 00:44:05,240 --> 00:44:07,720 place. What's going on here? 788 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,791 And Kody's just trying to be one of the leaders of the 789 00:44:10,791 --> 00:44:13,574 manosphere and come in and say, listen, I'm going to lay down 790 00:44:13,574 --> 00:44:16,148 the law. I'm going to tell Leon what 791 00:44:16,156 --> 00:44:18,965 needs to happen. I'm going to give Leon some life 792 00:44:18,965 --> 00:44:20,829 advice. I'm going to all talk to Leon. 793 00:44:20,837 --> 00:44:24,132 Let me deal with it. So then Kody and Leon are 794 00:44:24,140 --> 00:44:27,729 sitting inside in the family room or the living room or the 795 00:44:27,737 --> 00:44:29,646 My Sister wife's closet world headquarters. 796 00:44:29,654 --> 00:44:34,404 You never know where they are. And oh, he's got some things to 797 00:44:34,404 --> 00:44:38,344 say to Leon. First, Kody starts out by just a 798 00:44:38,344 --> 00:44:44,274 simple You feeling OK? Leon's feeling great, can't you 799 00:44:44,274 --> 00:44:47,020 tell? This is not gentle parenting, 800 00:44:47,028 --> 00:44:51,085 OK? This is not understanding how to 801 00:44:51,085 --> 00:44:55,136 talk to your own child. Yeah, yeah, you. 802 00:44:55,144 --> 00:45:00,064 Feeling OK? Do you get upset when I ask you 803 00:45:00,064 --> 00:45:01,855 that question? Are you feeling OK, Kimber? 804 00:45:01,863 --> 00:45:03,260 Are you mad at? Me are you? 805 00:45:03,268 --> 00:45:06,326 Oh, I I never ask people that. I don't want to know the answer. 806 00:45:06,326 --> 00:45:06,840 Oh boy. 807 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,480 Kody also tells Leon. Well after. 808 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,200 You know that ice breaker? Yeah, best ice breaker ever. 809 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,520 Tony just dives right in and tells Leon. 810 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,560 When you're mad about what's going on in your life, you still 811 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:25,400 need to be a sweet person. A sweet person. 812 00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:28,840 You need to not wear your struggles on your sleeve so 813 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,880 much. Your mom is dealing with the 814 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,840 same thing. You'll have a better life and a 815 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,800 lot more friends if you have a chipper disposition. 816 00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:44,080 Value into what you do have. Yeah, yeah. 817 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,920 AKA, not what you don't have, not the house that you've been 818 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,920 staring at longingly across the street. 819 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,637 That you've been yelling at from a minivan saying you're going 820 00:45:52,637 --> 00:45:54,320 to slap. Why not the? 821 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:58,880 Underwriter across the face, like you've been a spoiled brat, 822 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,160 which is what we have been saying on this podcast for many 823 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:02,760 episodes. And it's unlikable. 824 00:46:03,240 --> 00:46:06,960 And do I think you have to be a sweet person? 825 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:08,680 No. Do I think you always have to 826 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:10,480 have a chipper disposition? No. 827 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,400 But do I think Leon needs to hear this? 828 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,280 Fucking yes. Like it's probably just one of 829 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,320 those moments in life where it's like, yo, everyone's tired of 830 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,800 walking on egg shells around you and touching you with kid 831 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,680 gloves. Everyone's kind of over it and 832 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:27,120 you're going to. You're alienating people. 833 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,800 Another thing to point out with the word that he uses being 834 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:35,680 sweet, you may be struggling, but you really need to be sweet 835 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:43,280 with everybody else. It's a very odd word to pick and 836 00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:47,000 I don't think a lot of us would use that word in a similar 837 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,520 situation. I think if I was saying that, 838 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,720 I'd be like, you may be struggling, but you really need 839 00:46:51,720 --> 00:46:54,502 to be kind with everybody else. 840 00:46:54,510 --> 00:46:58,980 I don't know another parent that would just automatically go to. 841 00:46:58,980 --> 00:47:00,680 You need to be sweet. 842 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,240 Right. With everybody else, it's just a 843 00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:08,597 very strange word to jump to out of all of the descriptive 844 00:47:08,597 --> 00:47:11,948 words and the English language. 845 00:47:11,956 --> 00:47:16,412 So yeah, he's basically Leon. Keep sweet. 846 00:47:16,420 --> 00:47:18,755 Yep, little Warren Jeffs vibes in there. 847 00:47:18,763 --> 00:47:20,646 It doesn't matter what you're going through. 848 00:47:20,654 --> 00:47:22,380 And it's obviously a spectrum, right? 849 00:47:22,388 --> 00:47:24,424 If you're upset about every single thing and everything's 850 00:47:24,432 --> 00:47:27,104 driving you nuts, you know, take a moment and evaluate. 851 00:47:27,112 --> 00:47:29,680 And he literally suggests to Leon, if you're getting upset, 852 00:47:29,688 --> 00:47:32,472 it might be best to just remove yourself for a few minutes and 853 00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,108 go do your thing. Regather your thoughts. 854 00:47:34,116 --> 00:47:39,185 Come back when you're a little more able to go with the flow. 855 00:47:39,193 --> 00:47:43,220 Have a more chipper disposition. Think objectively. 856 00:47:43,228 --> 00:47:45,749 Yeah, which? We know they're great at. 857 00:47:45,757 --> 00:47:49,290 So many better ways to phrase it than keeping sweet and having a 858 00:47:49,290 --> 00:47:53,481 chipper disposition. I think the suggestion and the 859 00:47:53,489 --> 00:47:56,855 conversation itself holistically probably wasn't bad in the sense 860 00:47:56,855 --> 00:47:59,544 that, like I said, Leon needs to fucking hear this. 861 00:47:59,552 --> 00:48:01,410 I probably needed to hear it at some point. 862 00:48:01,418 --> 00:48:03,206 I'm sure my dad was like, you know what? 863 00:48:03,214 --> 00:48:05,470 If you were just a little nicer, people would be a little nicer 864 00:48:05,478 --> 00:48:07,040 to you. Like it's something you some 865 00:48:07,048 --> 00:48:10,620 people are probably just going to have to hear in life. 866 00:48:10,628 --> 00:48:15,104 Kinder to them, softer to them, nicer to them, sweet. 867 00:48:15,112 --> 00:48:20,175 And he uses sweet so much. They all do in, but particularly 868 00:48:20,175 --> 00:48:22,600 Kody in their book, Becoming Sister Wives. 869 00:48:22,608 --> 00:48:27,320 So many uses of the word sweet. It was sweet and she was sweet 870 00:48:27,328 --> 00:48:29,170 and everything was sweet. It's like, can't you find a 871 00:48:29,178 --> 00:48:30,360 different word? It's so obnoxious. 872 00:48:30,368 --> 00:48:33,740 I think that I've only described a strawberry that way before. 873 00:48:33,748 --> 00:48:35,760 Right. Like I would assume I would 874 00:48:35,768 --> 00:48:39,435 describe food as sweet. Or if someone did something 875 00:48:39,443 --> 00:48:41,920 really really nice for me, I might be like that's so sweet, 876 00:48:41,928 --> 00:48:43,920 but I wouldn't suggest they be sweet. 877 00:48:43,928 --> 00:48:47,792 Very strange. No, it's a very odd use of the 878 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,070 word. Very culty. 879 00:48:49,078 --> 00:48:53,140 Well, Speaking of culty, we're going to go back to the Brown 880 00:48:53,148 --> 00:48:58,458 family called a Sack Woo. And it's Christmas morning on 881 00:48:58,466 --> 00:49:02,999 January 2nd. Meri is hoping that since it's a 882 00:49:02,999 --> 00:49:06,615 weekday, January 2nd, they might get their Christmas 883 00:49:06,615 --> 00:49:13,542 miracle and get into the home. And Meri's been sitting by that 884 00:49:13,542 --> 00:49:17,760 pager, I mean phone, waiting for that call. 885 00:49:17,768 --> 00:49:20,360 Technically, it's a business day, she says. 886 00:49:20,368 --> 00:49:23,340 Technically, it's a business day, and everyone's gathering at 887 00:49:23,340 --> 00:49:26,176 Janelle's family room for the Christmas celebration. 888 00:49:26,184 --> 00:49:29,761 There's children, there's adults, there's presents, 889 00:49:29,769 --> 00:49:33,616 presents, presents, presents. And Kody tells us that they're a 890 00:49:33,616 --> 00:49:37,022 family of 22. So if everyone gets 3 gifts, 891 00:49:37,030 --> 00:49:39,852 that's 66 presents to be all around. 892 00:49:39,860 --> 00:49:42,823 And yeah, there's a lot of presents. 893 00:49:42,831 --> 00:49:45,324 It didn't seem crazy to me because they are a large family. 894 00:49:45,324 --> 00:49:46,400 It just looked like a lot of 895 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,360 presents for a lot of people. I don't really get if that was 896 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:53,240 directed by a producer director like prompted because it didn't 897 00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:55,680 seem strange to me. I don't know. 898 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:59,520 It does look insane because they take the shot from overhead, 899 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:01,720 like from the balcony. Yeah. 900 00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:05,720 So from like the top shot, it looks like a ton of presents. 901 00:50:05,720 --> 00:50:09,680 It looks like Whoville people and the presents and the big 902 00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,160 tree and yeah. And truly scrumptious is little 903 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,960 Cindy Lou. Little Cindy Lou Who with her 904 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:19,520 little whisper hair, our favorite of them all. 905 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,320 The kids are all opening their gifts. 906 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,560 There's a lot of excitement. I didn't see a lot of people 907 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,920 eating crepes, so unfortunately we never saw where. 908 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,600 Saint Lucia's Day. Oh, I guess that must have been 909 00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:30,280 a different day. I don't know, I'm confused. 910 00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,084 It's so hard with Joseph Smith's birthday right before 911 00:50:34,084 --> 00:50:35,629 Christmas and Saint Lucia's Day. 912 00:50:35,637 --> 00:50:36,867 There's so many. Hanukkah. 913 00:50:36,875 --> 00:50:40,100 And Hanukkah that they couldn't even fit that in this year. 914 00:50:40,108 --> 00:50:43,586 There was just so many holidays and it's tough to keep track. 915 00:50:43,594 --> 00:50:47,256 One person that they show getting a gift that I thought 916 00:50:47,264 --> 00:50:51,920 was adorable was Gabe. And there is like a towel or a 917 00:50:51,928 --> 00:50:54,842 blanket over something. And the other kids say we've 918 00:50:54,850 --> 00:50:57,640 going to we're going to reveal your gift, Gabe. 919 00:50:57,648 --> 00:51:01,504 And they pull it up and it's a brand new bike. 920 00:51:01,512 --> 00:51:03,420 And Gabe's reaction's really cute. 921 00:51:03,428 --> 00:51:06,470 And it was just cute how the siblings got in on hiding the 922 00:51:06,478 --> 00:51:09,816 bike without wrapping it and pulling the cloth away. 923 00:51:09,824 --> 00:51:13,104 Yeah. Yeah, it was a cute moment. 924 00:51:13,112 --> 00:51:16,750 And then America's favorite sister, wife Robyn, tells Kody 925 00:51:16,758 --> 00:51:20,984 it's his turn to open a present from her. 926 00:51:20,992 --> 00:51:25,396 The Christmas spirit is inside of her and just leaking out of 927 00:51:25,404 --> 00:51:29,360 every pore. He opens the gift and he gets 928 00:51:29,368 --> 00:51:33,577 choked up. He takes a pause and he pulls 929 00:51:33,585 --> 00:51:37,010 out a piece of paper, more pieces of paper for gifts. 930 00:51:37,018 --> 00:51:41,580 But this piece of paper is actually a Social Security card 931 00:51:41,580 --> 00:51:47,300 that says Robyn Alice Brown. He announces to everyone the 932 00:51:47,308 --> 00:51:49,184 gift. It's a Social Security card. 933 00:51:49,192 --> 00:51:53,515 She's changed her name and here is a certificate saying she did 934 00:51:53,515 --> 00:51:55,864 so. And it's so great because they 935 00:51:55,872 --> 00:52:00,742 do a pan to Logan and he's slow clapping and he's not doing it, 936 00:52:00,742 --> 00:52:05,250 you know, not a sarcastic, you know, asshole thing, but 937 00:52:05,258 --> 00:52:07,475 literally just like, yay, slow clap. 938 00:52:07,483 --> 00:52:10,069 And I'm like, Oh my God, so good. 939 00:52:10,077 --> 00:52:13,304 And of course, Kody and Robyn hug and they kiss. 940 00:52:13,312 --> 00:52:16,580 They do a little kiss in front of the other sister wives 941 00:52:16,588 --> 00:52:20,020 breaking the rules. And it was quite a moment, 942 00:52:20,028 --> 00:52:22,989 Christine yells from the side. That's so cool. 943 00:52:22,997 --> 00:52:27,168 And I went, why? Why is everything cool? 944 00:52:27,176 --> 00:52:30,627 Why is everything real and cool? It's so cool. 945 00:52:30,635 --> 00:52:32,980 It's so real, but it's cool. Like why? 946 00:52:32,988 --> 00:52:38,560 They have a little tidbit of Kody talking and he says it's 947 00:52:38,568 --> 00:52:41,721 probably the biggest surprise I've ever had. 948 00:52:41,729 --> 00:52:45,808 It shocked and awed me, shocked and on me. 949 00:52:45,816 --> 00:52:48,274 It takes a lot to shock and awe Kody. 950 00:52:48,282 --> 00:52:51,602 He's he's hard to impress. And then, like, we cannot just 951 00:52:51,610 --> 00:52:54,879 gloss over the fact that he holds the Social Security card 952 00:52:54,887 --> 00:52:58,200 up for all to see, including the camera men. 953 00:52:58,208 --> 00:53:03,072 Yeah, I didn't catch if it was blurred or not. 954 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:06,020 It'd be fun to go freeze frame it and capture that number and 955 00:53:06,028 --> 00:53:08,240 get her a fifth last name. Let's just. 956 00:53:08,248 --> 00:53:11,116 See this maybe? Like brand new please. 957 00:53:11,124 --> 00:53:15,520 Report yourself to the FBI's Most Wanted list for most debt 958 00:53:15,528 --> 00:53:18,642 in America. That's what it would come up as 959 00:53:18,642 --> 00:53:20,840 if you tried to steal her Social Security number. 960 00:53:20,848 --> 00:53:24,360 It's a little odd. They've shown large checks to 961 00:53:24,368 --> 00:53:27,095 the camera, and obviously the cameras blurred them. 962 00:53:27,103 --> 00:53:30,630 Now they're showing a Social Security card and it's like you 963 00:53:30,630 --> 00:53:32,206 tell motherfuckers. Stop. 964 00:53:32,214 --> 00:53:35,510 Stop showing your PPI or your PII or whatever. 965 00:53:35,518 --> 00:53:37,640 Trying to lose your own identities. 966 00:53:37,648 --> 00:53:41,480 We know it's been a rough go, OK, we know you've been 967 00:53:41,488 --> 00:53:46,035 separated for two plus years. But please, nobody wants to be 968 00:53:46,043 --> 00:53:47,958 you. Don't forget they had to go to 969 00:53:47,966 --> 00:53:49,427 Nevada in the middle of the night. 970 00:53:49,435 --> 00:53:52,918 They have struggled and they have had so many ups and downs 971 00:53:52,926 --> 00:53:56,309 and now here's a check and here's my social. 972 00:53:56,317 --> 00:54:00,380 Christ Almighty, for real. As we know, Kimber gladly 973 00:54:00,388 --> 00:54:05,348 accepts that information. Only if you fall in love with me 974 00:54:05,348 --> 00:54:08,820 and give it willingly. And then they talk about the 975 00:54:08,828 --> 00:54:12,336 importance of all of them having the same last name, even if 976 00:54:12,344 --> 00:54:15,882 they're not legally married. You know, it's to signify that 977 00:54:15,890 --> 00:54:18,400 you are a kept woman, according to Kody. 978 00:54:18,408 --> 00:54:22,840 A kept woman Christian says that most women in plural marriage do 979 00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:27,300 not change their last name, but that was something that was 980 00:54:27,300 --> 00:54:31,280 super important to her because of her children and having the 981 00:54:31,288 --> 00:54:34,982 same last name as their father. Yeah, not our first time talking 982 00:54:34,982 --> 00:54:37,178 about last names in the last couple episodes. 983 00:54:37,186 --> 00:54:43,182 It seems to be a thing, right? Now Robyn Shit Stain Brown is 984 00:54:43,190 --> 00:54:50,622 now dubbed Robyn Alice Brown of the Brown family, fourth wife of 985 00:54:50,622 --> 00:54:55,950 the Kody Brown IW Robyn Alice Brown of Brown. 986 00:54:55,958 --> 00:54:59,298 Queen of the Brown family called. 987 00:54:59,306 --> 00:55:03,330 Us I'm supposed to add I'm supposed to add Queen of the 988 00:55:03,338 --> 00:55:06,092 Browns is. There a gas leak in here? 989 00:55:06,100 --> 00:55:07,620 Are we at Robyn's house? I'm. 990 00:55:07,628 --> 00:55:10,480 Just acting out what I'm. Are we victims of her Munchausen 991 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:14,400 by proxy? Kody says that this is a 992 00:55:14,408 --> 00:55:18,140 covenant between them, between Kody, the wives, and God. 993 00:55:18,148 --> 00:55:21,300 So, you know, even though they're not legally married, 994 00:55:21,308 --> 00:55:25,234 them taking his last name as a covenant between him, them and 995 00:55:25,242 --> 00:55:26,980 God. How touching. 996 00:55:26,988 --> 00:55:31,380 We see all of their gorgeous wedding photos again, and the 997 00:55:31,388 --> 00:55:35,450 waterfall flowers, and Meri's wedding and the little workout 998 00:55:35,458 --> 00:55:39,974 headband with the flowers on it.

The baby Jesus wept. 1008 00:56:10,476 --> 00:56:14,450 But fuck all the work that these women have done to get these 1009 00:56:14,458 --> 00:56:18,909 homes because you know what?

He stands up after their gifts 1012 00:56:23,383 --> 00:56:26,376 and declares, well, you know, has to talk to the family like 1013 00:56:26,384 --> 00:56:28,350 he always does. Being the patriarch, being the 1014 00:56:28,358 --> 00:56:30,383 man from the manosphere, I get it. 1015 00:56:30,391 --> 00:56:34,780 This is the biggest gift our family could ever receive 1016 00:56:34,788 --> 00:56:38,656 outside of our relationships with each other and of course 1017 00:56:38,664 --> 00:56:43,356 the testimony from God. Yeah, he's basically telling his 1018 00:56:43,356 --> 00:56:45,416 kids to be thankful. He says. 1019 00:56:45,424 --> 00:56:48,380 Always appreciate it. Always be thankful for it. 1020 00:56:48,388 --> 00:56:50,972 Like, do not forget where this comes from. 1021 00:56:50,980 --> 00:56:54,890 Do not forget your roots. This is the follow up from when 1022 00:56:54,890 --> 00:56:57,904 he started that last episode. He said you should all respect 1023 00:56:57,912 --> 00:56:59,840 us because we're going to provide you housing. 1024 00:56:59,848 --> 00:57:01,772 And so now he's just continuing the story. 1025 00:57:01,780 --> 00:57:04,640 You know, respect the homes, respect us that only the 1026 00:57:04,648 --> 00:57:07,816 testimony from God should be more than this. 1027 00:57:07,824 --> 00:57:12,122 Very moving. So after opening the 666 gifts 1028 00:57:12,130 --> 00:57:17,008 from the devil for the entire family, they're all exhausted. 1029 00:57:17,016 --> 00:57:22,685 Nobody wants to do anything, but everyone is going to have to 1030 00:57:22,693 --> 00:57:27,910 stay up for this caramel competition quote. 1031 00:57:27,918 --> 00:57:42,324 As a man getting caramels from all of his four wives because he 1032 00:57:42,324 --> 00:57:47,115 is a genius, he devised this plan. 1033 00:57:47,123 --> 00:57:55,160 Wow, so make sure you add that to the Sister Wives playlist on 1034 00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,555 Spotify.

She's going to make these 1042 00:58:26,473 --> 00:58:30,740 caramel so good. Janelle's cooking with her mom, 1043 00:58:30,740 --> 00:58:34,480 and you know, that's that. Cooking with their mom? 1044 00:58:34,488 --> 00:58:38,172 Noticing or missing syrup. Pretty sure hers were the ones 1045 00:58:38,180 --> 00:58:42,088 that looked wet upon delivery.

Oh yeah, she's a cheetah. 1050 00:58:55,263 --> 00:58:58,463 And so she's kind of trying to vindicate herself. 1051 00:58:58,471 --> 00:59:05,560 And this is when Meri and Robyn keep going on and on about how 1052 00:59:05,568 --> 00:59:09,080 tired they are and how they can't imagine making caramels 1053 00:59:09,088 --> 00:59:14,574 right now and they talk about Christine and how Christine's a 1054 00:59:14,574 --> 00:59:19,000 cheater. Maybe we should nap instead of 1055 00:59:19,008 --> 00:59:23,584 making them and then just go buy caramels from some unfortunate 1056 00:59:23,592 --> 00:59:28,208 store. Unfortunate store. 1057 00:59:28,216 --> 00:59:38,070 So they go and have a nap and then they go to a store and 1058 00:59:38,078 --> 00:59:43,344 they're just like, Meri says to the clerk. 1059 00:59:43,352 --> 00:59:47,344 How's the dill?

She throws herself on the 1065 01:00:03,312 --> 01:00:05,360 counter at one point, kind of half. 1066 01:00:05,368 --> 01:00:08,780 Like what? And Meri's describing to the 1067 01:00:08,788 --> 01:00:12,417 clerk how she's going to pass their caramels off as their own, 1068 01:00:12,417 --> 01:00:15,090 like that's OK to do in the first place. 1069 01:00:15,098 --> 01:00:17,640 Yeah, and as if it's even that exciting. 1070 01:00:17,648 --> 01:00:18,415 Or anyone.

Totally. 1074 01:00:25,917 --> 01:00:30,424 And then Meri says lies are always OK as long as you tell 1075 01:00:30,432 --> 01:00:32,736 the truth later. Oh, interesting. 1076 01:00:32,744 --> 01:00:36,360 God Forgives all. Now, darling, you glossed over a 1077 01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:38,218 very important point. Oh no. 1078 01:00:38,226 --> 01:00:42,624 When Meri and Robyn are in the kitchen discussing how they're 1079 01:00:42,632 --> 01:00:45,640 going to call this unfortunate store owner to see if her 1080 01:00:45,648 --> 01:00:48,610 unfortunate store has some caramel caramel, Excuse me? 1081 01:00:48,618 --> 01:00:53,626 They joke about your husband, which I loved cause Meri's like, 1082 01:00:53,626 --> 01:00:56,064 well, you know, your husband wants blah, blah, blah, blah. 1083 01:00:56,072 --> 01:00:59,250 And then Robyn's like, Oh no, no, no, he's your husband. 1084 01:00:59,258 --> 01:01:03,225 And I kind of thought it was, I don't know, it stuck out to me 1085 01:01:03,233 --> 01:01:04,540 as a little funny bit. Flirty. 1086 01:01:04,548 --> 01:01:07,852 Well. Perhaps like it was a little pre 1087 01:01:07,852 --> 01:01:09,189 nap, wink wink. Yeah. 1088 01:01:09,197 --> 01:01:11,458 But yeah, it's your husband, not mine. 1089 01:01:11,466 --> 01:01:12,750 Oh, I don't have a husband either. 1090 01:01:12,758 --> 01:01:15,400 It's your husband. You know what I'm saying? 1091 01:01:15,408 --> 01:01:18,976 When the husband's away, the sister wives will play. 1092 01:01:18,984 --> 01:01:21,655 And so you know, is this significant? 1093 01:01:21,663 --> 01:01:25,574 No, but I just wanted to mention it because your husband, your 1094 01:01:25,582 --> 01:01:27,302 husband. I actually thought it was a 1095 01:01:27,310 --> 01:01:30,044 little funny and kind of like, when in life are you ever going 1096 01:01:30,044 --> 01:01:31,776 to have the opportunity to say your husband? 1097 01:01:31,784 --> 01:01:33,922 It's like, no. It was kind of funny because 1098 01:01:33,930 --> 01:01:36,395 they were like, why did your husband make us do this? 1099 01:01:36,403 --> 01:01:37,956 I don't know. He's not my husband. 1100 01:01:37,964 --> 01:01:40,005 He's your husband. Why did your husband make us do 1101 01:01:40,005 --> 01:01:40,734 this? It was. 1102 01:01:40,742 --> 01:01:41,940 Funny. It is funny because people 1103 01:01:41,948 --> 01:01:43,440 always say that about the children, right? 1104 01:01:43,448 --> 01:01:45,440 Like, well, your child, blah blah blah. 1105 01:01:45,448 --> 01:01:48,610 It's like your child as well. So I thought that bit was a 1106 01:01:48,618 --> 01:01:51,276 little funny. Did it warrant Robyn barreling 1107 01:01:51,284 --> 01:01:53,827 over and losing consciousness from laughter? 1108 01:01:53,835 --> 01:01:55,410 No. But it was funny. 1109 01:01:55,418 --> 01:01:57,768 She wasn't even like cute laughing by this point. 1110 01:01:57,776 --> 01:02:02,035 It was like ugly laughter, like. Yeah, she was high this whole 1111 01:02:02,043 --> 01:02:03,134 time. It's ridiculous. 1112 01:02:03,142 --> 01:02:04,920 Yeah. After the store, they arrived 1113 01:02:04,928 --> 01:02:08,104 back at Robyn's house to try to doctor up these unfortunate 1114 01:02:08,112 --> 01:02:11,805 store bought caramels. Caramels to look homemade and 1115 01:02:11,813 --> 01:02:16,040 their approach is a little like are you effing kidding me? 1116 01:02:16,048 --> 01:02:20,322 I mean, it seems like they were talking about rolling them and I 1117 01:02:20,322 --> 01:02:23,058 don't even know. They were just going to reshape 1118 01:02:23,058 --> 01:02:25,160 them. And Meri says, well, they're 1119 01:02:25,168 --> 01:02:27,372 just like this, but they're flattened. 1120 01:02:27,380 --> 01:02:31,475 So they start like warming the caramels up in their hands and 1121 01:02:31,483 --> 01:02:34,770 then smashing them on the counter with like the palm of 1122 01:02:34,778 --> 01:02:36,150 their hands. Yeah, yeah. 1123 01:02:36,158 --> 01:02:38,980 And it's like, just imagine, like the sweaty hands, like 1124 01:02:38,988 --> 01:02:41,658 smashing the caramels and then everyone unrolling the caramels 1125 01:02:41,658 --> 01:02:44,892 and creating them. You're going to be as wet as 1126 01:02:44,900 --> 01:02:47,488 Janelle's caramel caramel. Nothing's wetter than that 1127 01:02:47,496 --> 01:02:49,367 caramel. Nothing's wetter than Janelle's 1128 01:02:49,367 --> 01:02:52,220 caramel, it looked. Damp. 1129 01:02:52,228 --> 01:02:58,748 As musty as Robyn's basement now, Robyn tells us. 1130 01:02:58,756 --> 01:03:05,040 I'd make a horrible shoplifter. I'm too nervous in her stupor 1131 01:03:05,048 --> 01:03:09,020 because she's laughing like an uncontrollable idiot. 1132 01:03:09,028 --> 01:03:12,464 She's like a hyena this entire. Oh, it's so disturbing. 1133 01:03:12,472 --> 01:03:15,780 And you know, what crossed my mind was, you know, Robyn, you 1134 01:03:15,788 --> 01:03:20,605 would be a horrible shoplifter. I think you'd probably be better 1135 01:03:20,605 --> 01:03:24,215 fit for fraud or embezzlement. You know, she's more calculated 1136 01:03:24,215 --> 01:03:26,976 than going into a store and just slipping something in her 1137 01:03:26,984 --> 01:03:28,442 pocket. She's like, I'm going to steal 1138 01:03:28,450 --> 01:03:31,619 the money from right from under you for years kind of vibe. 1139 01:03:31,627 --> 01:03:36,494 She's not smart enough to do it, so she has to do what we all 1140 01:03:36,502 --> 01:03:41,148 fucking hate most in the world and ask a man to embezzle and do 1141 01:03:41,148 --> 01:03:44,535 the work for her. Not a man and. 1142 01:03:44,543 --> 01:03:48,292 She just plays innocent even though she's playing the puppet 1143 01:03:48,292 --> 01:03:52,335 strings and she gets it all. She's got that Kody wrapped 1144 01:03:52,343 --> 01:03:57,210 around her little disgusting finger cut to the taste test of 1145 01:03:57,210 --> 01:03:59,642 these caramels. Oh, everyone's been, I know you 1146 01:03:59,642 --> 01:04:02,512 all have been waiting for the outcome of this competition. 1147 01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,600 Everyone's been waiting on the edge of their seat. 1148 01:04:05,608 --> 01:04:08,040 What's going to happen? What's going to happen? 1149 01:04:08,048 --> 01:04:11,120 This is where I just wrote because we're they're showing us 1150 01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:14,246 the tray that they're being presented on with this blind 1151 01:04:14,254 --> 01:04:16,138 taste test. Was it a paper plate? 1152 01:04:16,146 --> 01:04:20,276 It's just. A plate and all I wrote is 1 is 1153 01:04:20,276 --> 01:04:24,882 wet. There definitely was a wet one 1154 01:04:24,890 --> 01:04:29,025 there's. 3 caramels and one is showing signs of being wet. 1155 01:04:29,033 --> 01:04:31,710 It is glossy. It is shiny. 1156 01:04:31,718 --> 01:04:34,700 There might be droplets of wetness on it. 1157 01:04:34,708 --> 01:04:36,840 It left a snail trail on the blade. 1158 01:04:36,848 --> 01:04:39,408 It sure did. When Kody puts these caramels in 1159 01:04:39,408 --> 01:04:42,930 his mouth, one of which was wet and the other two are dry, 1160 01:04:42,930 --> 01:04:47,230 the first one that he tries is a bit soft and he didn't say 1161 01:04:47,230 --> 01:04:51,294 that it was wet and he didn't say that it slipped out of his 1162 01:04:51,294 --> 01:04:52,680 mouth and he had to put it back in. 1163 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:54,600 But. It was soft. 1164 01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:59,560 It was soft #2 not to be confused with the bowel movement 1165 01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:03,600 was very yummy. He thought it tasted great, but 1166 01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:07,360 it wasn't as wet as his mom's or as dry as his mom's, not quite 1167 01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:10,160 sure. And it tasted different than his 1168 01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:11,960 mom's. When he popped that caramel in 1169 01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:15,440 his mouth, he said this doesn't taste like my mother's caramel. 1170 01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:21,520 And Kody questions them if it's either of their mom's recipes. 1171 01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:23,400 Robyn, is this your mom's recipe? 1172 01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:25,202 Meri, is this your mom's recipe? 1173 01:05:25,210 --> 01:05:28,384 And it's like Kody, get these women's mother's recipes out of 1174 01:05:28,384 --> 01:05:32,365 your mouth. Roger keeps saying because it's 1175 01:05:32,365 --> 01:05:34,606 walnuts, not pecans or something. 1176 01:05:34,614 --> 01:05:36,594 Yeah, it's these nuts, not those nuts. 1177 01:05:36,602 --> 01:05:39,920 Like who gives a fuck? Puts nuts in their caramel first 1178 01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:43,962 of all, you psychopaths. Well, as you know, I'm allergic 1179 01:05:43,962 --> 01:05:45,888 to caramel so I don't know anything about this. 1180 01:05:45,896 --> 01:05:48,507 Chris told me a story after we met. 1181 01:05:48,515 --> 01:05:52,962 Betty was allergic to caramel. And then obviously I kind of 1182 01:05:52,970 --> 01:05:56,983 like what how can that be? And he admitted that it was a. 1183 01:05:56,991 --> 01:05:58,440 Lie, right? I'm kind of like Meri. 1184 01:05:58,448 --> 01:06:00,966 You know, you could tell the lie as long as you ask for 1185 01:06:00,974 --> 01:06:01,543 forgiveness. Yeah. 1186 01:06:01,551 --> 01:06:04,812 The true story is when I was a young child, I made-up that I 1187 01:06:04,820 --> 01:06:07,405 was allergic to caramel because I'm not actually that much of a 1188 01:06:07,405 --> 01:06:09,070 fan. Now as an adult, I'll eat some 1189 01:06:09,078 --> 01:06:11,512 caramel like it's fine, but when I was a kid, I really didn't 1190 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,872 like it. And people would always be like 1191 01:06:13,872 --> 01:06:15,472 pushing caramel, especially when you're a kid. 1192 01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:16,230 They're just. Pusher. 1193 01:06:16,238 --> 01:06:18,725 They are pushers. They're like pop that Werther's 1194 01:06:18,725 --> 01:06:20,792 in your mouth. And I'm like, it's wet and 1195 01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:22,990 tastes like my mother. Like I don't like it. 1196 01:06:22,998 --> 01:06:26,789 You know, it's it's it's I just, I made-up that I was allergic to 1197 01:06:26,789 --> 01:06:28,904 caramel so that especially at school, like people would be 1198 01:06:28,912 --> 01:06:31,200 like, you have to eat this. And I'd be like, I don't want 1199 01:06:31,208 --> 01:06:32,320 to. You're not. 1200 01:06:32,328 --> 01:06:37,862 How many times did people try to force to do caramel the child 1201 01:06:37,870 --> 01:06:42,478 they felt the need to lie? It happened enough times for me 1202 01:06:42,478 --> 01:06:46,975 to fabricate a story that I was allergic to caramel so people 1203 01:06:46,983 --> 01:06:50,121 would stop forcing it on me. It was terrible. 1204 01:06:50,129 --> 01:06:54,290 What's so funny is that people used to be obsessed. 1205 01:06:54,298 --> 01:06:58,122 With Werthers, yes, I'm telling you it's part of my childhood. 1206 01:06:58,130 --> 01:07:00,260 It's like a staple was my caramel lie. 1207 01:07:00,268 --> 01:07:03,348 It followed me for years and years because I would just tell 1208 01:07:03,348 --> 01:07:05,280 people I'm allergic. Of course, eventually you get 1209 01:07:05,288 --> 01:07:07,260 old enough for people start putting the pieces together that 1210 01:07:07,260 --> 01:07:09,144 it's like, isn't caramel just like sugar and flavouring? 1211 01:07:09,152 --> 01:07:11,305 And I'm like, I don't know, I'm allergic to it. 1212 01:07:11,313 --> 01:07:14,367 I I have no idea. But of course as an. 1213 01:07:14,375 --> 01:07:17,668 Adult. It's just kind of like some 1214 01:07:17,676 --> 01:07:20,248 other wet things. I just have not gone there. 1215 01:07:20,256 --> 01:07:23,136 I don't like it. Get it out of my face, get it 1216 01:07:23,144 --> 01:07:24,292 out of my mouth. But. 1217 01:07:24,300 --> 01:07:28,140 There's a good where there's and there's a bad where there's the 1218 01:07:28,140 --> 01:07:31,644 good where there's it's a little moist has a give to it. 1219 01:07:31,652 --> 01:07:34,366 The bad one is like the hard square. 1220 01:07:34,374 --> 01:07:39,375 That's like a hard candy almost. And I'm dying because that you 1221 01:07:39,383 --> 01:07:41,534 used to see that shit everywhere. 1222 01:07:41,542 --> 01:07:45,500 Like on the counters everywhere. Your grandma had em, your mom 1223 01:07:45,508 --> 01:07:46,921 had em. Remember the commercials? 1224 01:07:46,929 --> 01:07:50,527 Like yes, the grandpa giving it to the grandson my Werther's 1225 01:07:50,535 --> 01:07:52,040 original. True. 1226 01:07:52,048 --> 01:07:53,984 Yeah. Oh my God. 1227 01:07:53,992 --> 01:07:54,890 Memory's unlocked. Right. 1228 01:07:54,898 --> 01:07:56,600 And I was going, I'm allergic to that shit. 1229 01:07:56,608 --> 01:07:58,134 I'm scared. Oh my God. 1230 01:07:58,142 --> 01:08:01,778 Obviously as an adult I came clean and said no, I just don't 1231 01:08:01,778 --> 01:08:03,235 like it. Please stop putting it in my 1232 01:08:03,243 --> 01:08:05,134 mouth. Can you guys tell us what 1233 01:08:05,142 --> 01:08:08,860 happened to Werther's? Did the Browns get a hold of 1234 01:08:08,868 --> 01:08:10,770 their factory for these caramels of theirs? 1235 01:08:10,778 --> 01:08:13,675 Yes, they actually went to the factory and Werther's is no 1236 01:08:13,683 --> 01:08:17,319 longer a thing. It got browned down, shut down. 1237 01:08:17,319 --> 01:08:19,240 Brown to the ground. 1238 01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:24,399 Now, according to Kody, the third caramel he tried was just 1239 01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:26,040 right. Just like the porridge in the 1240 01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:28,840 bed, in the chair. And whatever happened to, is it 1241 01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:32,880 Goldilocks in the Three Bears? I feel like in the last episode 1242 01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:36,160 I said it and I thought that I was talking about the girl that 1243 01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:37,960 put down the hair from the tower. 1244 01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:39,479 And so I was like, oh, that's not even the right one. 1245 01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,399 And it's like, no, Chris, it was the right one. 1246 01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:43,439 It was the right one. We were talking about the 1247 01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:45,000 mattresses that they were trying. 1248 01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:47,800 Yes. Well, was it a pee under the 1249 01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:49,040 mattress? The Princess and the pee 1250 01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,080 Princess. There was just so many things 1251 01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,225 happening and someone was trying to shove caramel down my 1252 01:08:53,225 --> 01:08:55,120 throat and I said enough, enough, enough. 1253 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:57,960 I don't want your cream savers either. 1254 01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,840 I'm strictly chocolate. I like. 1255 01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,120 Milk chocolate. I like milk chocolate better 1256 01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:12,240 than dark chocolate, but there's a place for all the different 1257 01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:13,760 kinds of chocolate. Just nothing. 1258 01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:16,600 Strawberry. That third caramel hit Kody in 1259 01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,720 all the right places. It tasted just like his mother's 1260 01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:23,080 caramel. And turns out that that third 1261 01:09:23,080 --> 01:09:26,840 one was Christine's caramel. She got it right. 1262 01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:33,479 She won once, not by cheating, but by the reality of her 1263 01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:38,840 caramel. All she had to do was try, try, 1264 01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:41,160 try again. Which is how you get better, 1265 01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:42,359 rat. Thanks, Racine. 1266 01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:44,479 That's how you get better, rat. 1267 01:09:44,488 --> 01:09:46,840 Thanks, Racine. If she had tried as hard to be a 1268 01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,214 realtor as she did it those caramels she. 1269 01:09:49,221 --> 01:09:52,000 Honestly. She might be the Mauricio 1270 01:09:52,008 --> 01:09:55,480 Obansky of today's world, but. It is honestly, you know, 1271 01:09:55,488 --> 01:09:57,876 Caramel's not easy to make. Listen, I've never tried. 1272 01:09:57,884 --> 01:09:59,170 I was allergic. Burns. 1273 01:09:59,178 --> 01:10:01,267 Burns so easily. Yeah. 1274 01:10:01,275 --> 01:10:04,495 Like your nostrils would have just burned up inside because of 1275 01:10:04,495 --> 01:10:05,814 your allergic reaction. Yeah. 1276 01:10:05,822 --> 01:10:08,824 It's bring me the EpiPen. Very hard to make. 1277 01:10:08,832 --> 01:10:13,240 I'm a Baker, I love to bake. I would never attempt to make my 1278 01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,296 own caramel because it doesn't matter that much to me because 1279 01:10:16,304 --> 01:10:21,120 I'm actually allergic to. But that's for a different day 1280 01:10:21,128 --> 01:10:23,520 because it's like actually really traumatizing. 1281 01:10:23,528 --> 01:10:25,500 Right. I've never met another person 1282 01:10:25,508 --> 01:10:27,760 allergic to caramel. I know like I think you, I think 1283 01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,788 you might have given it to me to be honest with you. 1284 01:10:30,796 --> 01:10:34,174 What a magical moment for everyone listening to be able to 1285 01:10:34,174 --> 01:10:35,060 experience with us. It's. 1286 01:10:35,068 --> 01:10:38,040 Kind of a big deal. Thank you for being here on our 1287 01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:41,002 Christmas morning. So in this back and forth, they 1288 01:10:41,002 --> 01:10:45,520 do give a pan over to Janelle where she's tasting one of Robyn 1289 01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:50,596 and Meri's stolen caramels and she says this tastes like a name 1290 01:10:50,596 --> 01:10:53,516 brand caramel. And I'm like, yes, Janelle, 1291 01:10:53,524 --> 01:10:57,895 taste buds of a. What true trash eater? 1292 01:10:57,903 --> 01:11:01,808 Because I'm like, yeah, that fakey fake taste of the fake 1293 01:11:01,816 --> 01:11:04,294 sugar and the fake this and fake that. 1294 01:11:04,302 --> 01:11:07,709 Like yeah, you can tell. Yeah, you can tell she's been 1295 01:11:07,717 --> 01:11:09,660 there. She's popped that in her mouth. 1296 01:11:09,660 --> 01:11:11,040 Before a fellow Dorito fan. 1297 01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:14,360 At this point we have a couch moment where Meri and Robyn 1298 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:18,120 confessed to everything that they did and when they started 1299 01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:19,600 talking I'm like they don't know. 1300 01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:21,440 They don't know like this didn't come up already. 1301 01:11:21,440 --> 01:11:25,680 Like how is this not a thing? But it really feels like the 1302 01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,626 other wives didn't actually know that they did this when 1303 01:11:28,626 --> 01:11:30,560 they're confessing or when Meri's confessing. 1304 01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:34,000 Robyn is laughing uncontrollably, like she is not 1305 01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,760 able to usher even a sentence fragment. 1306 01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:39,080 It is just. Like she was, Yeah, when they 1307 01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:40,390 were buying them with the clerk. 1308 01:11:40,398 --> 01:11:42,734 This is the funniest thing that's ever happened to Robyn in 1309 01:11:42,734 --> 01:11:44,383 her entire life. Insane. 1310 01:11:44,391 --> 01:11:47,400 Like a teenager with her best friend that's like giggling in 1311 01:11:47,408 --> 01:11:50,736 front of a boy and she can't stop and it's like got the 1312 01:11:50,744 --> 01:11:53,400 giggle fits going on. Yeah, meanwhile she's a mother 1313 01:11:53,408 --> 01:11:56,520 of four who's approaching middle age and looks terrible. 1314 01:11:56,528 --> 01:11:59,800 Yeah, and while this ridiculous exchange is happening, Kody 1315 01:11:59,808 --> 01:12:03,760 decides to get up and abruptly leave the couch out of fake 1316 01:12:03,768 --> 01:12:07,540 protest that they would even try to pass off a store bought 1317 01:12:07,548 --> 01:12:11,440 Carmel for the kind his mother used to nurse him with. 1318 01:12:11,448 --> 01:12:15,200 This brings about a wonderful opportunity for Christine to 1319 01:12:15,208 --> 01:12:17,680 talk about the family mission statement. 1320 01:12:17,688 --> 01:12:22,055 In case you've missed it, we've been drafting this family 1321 01:12:22,063 --> 01:12:24,250 mission statement for a hot minute. 1322 01:12:24,258 --> 01:12:28,428 It's been going on and going on. Don't forget that for Joseph 1323 01:12:28,436 --> 01:12:31,180 Smith's birthday, Christine gave them pieces of paper with their 1324 01:12:31,180 --> 01:12:33,641 name and what they, as individuals, contributed to 1325 01:12:33,649 --> 01:12:35,314 their first brainstorming session. 1326 01:12:35,322 --> 01:12:39,783 Now we're coming back for session #2 and Janelle is so 1327 01:12:39,791 --> 01:12:42,292 excited. She is enthused as ever. 1328 01:12:42,300 --> 01:12:46,208 Meanwhile, I see Robyn about to start breastfeeding Saul and 1329 01:12:46,216 --> 01:12:49,724 then they cut back to Christine. And so it feels very unnecessary 1330 01:12:49,724 --> 01:12:51,820 to have shown Robyn about to do that. 1331 01:12:51,828 --> 01:12:55,390 And Christine goes, what's our and goal? 1332 01:12:55,398 --> 01:12:59,909 What's our end goal, everybody? What's our end goal? 1333 01:12:59,917 --> 01:13:02,460 Well, Janelle says. I still don't see the end goal 1334 01:13:02,468 --> 01:13:04,444 insight. No, I'm just gonna go say that. 1335 01:13:04,444 --> 01:13:05,200 She does she. 1336 01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,640 Doesn't see the end. She does say that about their 1337 01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:10,760 activity. Not sure that anyone really 1338 01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:13,360 responds to that. I didn't track other than when 1339 01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:16,560 the kids were giving sarcastic comments and she said the kids 1340 01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:21,040 are being Pooh Pooh heads. Yeah, they were referring to. 1341 01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,957 The children as Pooh Pooh heads and they literally showed 1342 01:13:23,957 --> 01:13:27,862 Hunter on the ground being like blah blah blah blah blah like 1343 01:13:27,862 --> 01:13:31,040 no one cares except for Christine she really cares. 1344 01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:35,120 They decide that they're going to take their top like 5 traits 1345 01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:39,320 that they want reflected and write them on one piece of paper 1346 01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,760 and that they're going to work the mission statement from 1347 01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:44,760 there. And Robyn is fighting for them 1348 01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:49,720 not to remove the word financial to be a main point in the 1349 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:53,480 mission statement. Well, we need financial and I'm 1350 01:13:53,480 --> 01:13:55,760 like, yeah, you do you money hungry whore. 1351 01:13:56,480 --> 01:13:59,480 She is adamant that they keep financial. 1352 01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:01,270 She doesn't want to let that go. 1353 01:14:01,278 --> 01:14:05,005 It's very important to her that their family is financially OK, 1354 01:14:05,005 --> 01:14:09,640 and it's just interesting. It's weird because financial 1355 01:14:09,648 --> 01:14:13,052 stability is a fundamental building block for a lot of 1356 01:14:13,060 --> 01:14:15,664 families. It's not that she's wrong and 1357 01:14:15,672 --> 01:14:18,184 not having some sort of addressing something where 1358 01:14:18,192 --> 01:14:20,840 you're talking about maybe success or doing your best, 1359 01:14:20,848 --> 01:14:23,730 because there's ways that you can talk about finances without 1360 01:14:23,730 --> 01:14:25,480 actually talking about the finances, right? 1361 01:14:25,488 --> 01:14:29,162 Like we always strive to do our best, we achieve our goals, we 1362 01:14:29,170 --> 01:14:33,514 maintain health when it comes to our physical, our spiritual, our 1363 01:14:33,514 --> 01:14:35,954 financial. But she's an idiot. 1364 01:14:35,962 --> 01:14:39,052 We make enough to send our kids to college. 1365 01:14:39,060 --> 01:14:43,144 Education is important, so we work towards finances for 1366 01:14:43,152 --> 01:14:45,830 education or financing education. 1367 01:14:45,838 --> 01:14:52,040 Hello, financing education. She doesn't even deduce it to 1368 01:14:52,048 --> 01:14:55,580 anything like truly integral to the family's morals. 1369 01:14:55,588 --> 01:14:58,430 Yeah, and their goals that they've said from the beginning 1370 01:14:58,430 --> 01:15:00,464 that every kid needs to go to college, and she does. 1371 01:15:00,472 --> 01:15:02,948 Yeah. Can't connect those dots. 1372 01:15:02,956 --> 01:15:05,320 No, no. I don't know that that even 1373 01:15:05,328 --> 01:15:06,916 wrapped anywhere. I feel like the scene just kind 1374 01:15:06,916 --> 01:15:09,030 of ended. Was there any tie up to all 1375 01:15:09,038 --> 01:15:09,703 this? No. 1376 01:15:09,711 --> 01:15:13,284 Yeah, it just kind of stopped and then all of a sudden we're 1377 01:15:13,292 --> 01:15:14,670 at Meri's rental. Yeah. 1378 01:15:14,678 --> 01:15:16,910 So like, OK, that was just a scene and. 1379 01:15:16,918 --> 01:15:19,048 We've been getting a lot of whiplash again. 1380 01:15:19,056 --> 01:15:22,004 Yeah, this episode. And we find out that it's 1381 01:15:22,012 --> 01:15:24,800 January 3rd, so it is the day after their holiday. 1382 01:15:24,808 --> 01:15:29,630 Excuse me, Their Christmas party and Mona is going to meet them 1383 01:15:29,638 --> 01:15:31,486 after sundown to give them the keys. 1384 01:15:31,494 --> 01:15:34,064 So Meri finally did get some good news. 1385 01:15:34,072 --> 01:15:36,842 She's been approved. She's getting the keys, and it's 1386 01:15:36,842 --> 01:15:38,730 late at night. How exciting. 1387 01:15:38,738 --> 01:15:41,868 When they get to the house, they're inside and they're 1388 01:15:41,876 --> 01:15:45,010 signing documents on the island. And I was wondering, could they 1389 01:15:45,010 --> 01:15:46,800 see the paperwork with those uneven pendants? 1390 01:15:46,808 --> 01:15:49,138 Could they even see what they were signing? 1391 01:15:49,146 --> 01:15:52,140 It's all just a mystery. Oh my gosh. 1392 01:15:52,148 --> 01:15:55,050 And Mona sounds so excited to be done with them. 1393 01:15:55,058 --> 01:15:58,220 Like she's literally like, just so glad we could get this done 1394 01:15:58,228 --> 01:16:00,205 today.

Yeah, She's been working with 1399 01:16:13,688 --> 01:16:16,925 them for two whole years. And she looks like Mona, looks 1400 01:16:16,933 --> 01:16:20,968 like she's going to cry. And then she says we finally did 1401 01:16:20,968 --> 01:16:24,295 it, it's over and I'm going. Home and I'm going home. 1402 01:16:24,303 --> 01:16:27,326 This is it.

Yep, I'm going to miss her. 1419 01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:21,680 Because who she really is probably violates their sacred 1420 01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:23,640 covenants and testimonies from God. 1421 01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:27,960 Yeah, those crystals, those nipple tassels. 1422 01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:33,400 In the arms of the angels.

Oh, sorry, I'm getting my scenes 1449 01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:51,970 confused here. Kody and Meri go to Leon's 1450 01:18:51,978 --> 01:18:55,028 workplace to surprise them with the news. 1451 01:18:55,036 --> 01:18:59,490 Oh, those little devils. They spoke to Leon's manager 1452 01:18:59,498 --> 01:19:02,622 previously and worked something out so that Leon could leave 1453 01:19:02,630 --> 01:19:05,690 work to go see the house. There's going to be coverage for 1454 01:19:05,690 --> 01:19:08,020 that teenager working at that froyo shop. 1455 01:19:08,028 --> 01:19:10,270 The owner. Oh, the owner. 1456 01:19:10,278 --> 01:19:13,667 Excuse me, not manager, owner. Leon must have the wool pulled 1457 01:19:13,675 --> 01:19:15,240 over their eyes. What? 1458 01:19:15,248 --> 01:19:21,300 Does that mean? It's kind of embarrassing when 1459 01:19:21,308 --> 01:19:23,567 like kids, parents call their place of work. 1460 01:19:23,575 --> 01:19:24,815 So it's just like. Right. 1461 01:19:24,823 --> 01:19:28,282 Like I would have been in their juvenile and then during it been 1462 01:19:28,282 --> 01:19:31,152 distracted by the thing and then afterwards been like please 1463 01:19:31,152 --> 01:19:33,936 don't ever call my work again for anything ever. 1464 01:19:33,944 --> 01:19:36,474 Like seriously. Leon is probably the type of 1465 01:19:36,482 --> 01:19:39,115 person that has had Meri call in sick for them before though. 1466 01:19:39,123 --> 01:19:40,668 Oh my. God totally. 1467 01:19:40,676 --> 01:19:44,860 That's why I'm like oh this just gives me the cringe really hard 1468 01:19:44,860 --> 01:19:49,660 because I feel like it seemed like Meri and Kody were friends 1469 01:19:49,660 --> 01:19:54,130 with said boss and owner they. Sure, Familiar enough. 1470 01:19:54,138 --> 01:19:57,200 Yeah, my parents wouldn't have been calling my McDonald's 1471 01:19:57,208 --> 01:20:01,255 manager when I was 15 to tell them they're 1617, to say, oh, 1472 01:20:01,263 --> 01:20:04,612 Chris needs to come because we're getting keys to a new 1473 01:20:04,620 --> 01:20:06,295 house. They would have been like the 1474 01:20:06,303 --> 01:20:08,120 you want Chris to have a job after today? 1475 01:20:08,128 --> 01:20:10,520 Chris needs the sticks. He's the best at getting the 1476 01:20:10,528 --> 01:20:12,360 fries out from under the fryer, bitch. 1477 01:20:12,368 --> 01:20:13,960 Exactly. I was the fry king. 1478 01:20:13,968 --> 01:20:16,232 They're like, we can't make those caramel sundaes without 1479 01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:19,509 him. I would like to let everybody in 1480 01:20:19,509 --> 01:20:23,446 this McDonald's know that the ice cream machine is now not 1481 01:20:23,454 --> 01:20:25,800 working. Christopher, what the fuck did 1482 01:20:25,808 --> 01:20:30,536 you have to do this talk? Blame me for all of the 1483 01:20:30,544 --> 01:20:33,525 McDonald's ice cream machines not working because of my lies 1484 01:20:33,533 --> 01:20:36,550 about a caramel allergy and. Caramel infection. 1485 01:20:36,558 --> 01:20:40,188 Oh, I have a caramel infection. Oh God. 1486 01:20:40,196 --> 01:20:44,974 Meri tells us that Leon was the happiest she's seen them in a 1487 01:20:44,982 --> 01:20:47,280 very long time. Oh, how touching. 1488 01:20:47,288 --> 01:20:50,082 I wish I was moved. And then we immediately cut to 1489 01:20:50,090 --> 01:20:53,322 people helping to pack up some of Meri's stuff and bring these 1490 01:20:53,322 --> 01:20:56,008 things from Meri's rental to her home. 1491 01:20:56,016 --> 01:21:01,320 They're playing dramatic, somber Christmas music, something about 1492 01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:05,783 a guy named Manuel. Now that they have all of the 1493 01:21:05,791 --> 01:21:10,864 homes, they put in a clip of Kody saying that he thinks this 1494 01:21:10,864 --> 01:21:16,630 was their best Christmas ever and then they show clips from 1495 01:21:16,638 --> 01:21:19,920 the cabin Christmas from two years ago. 1496 01:21:19,928 --> 01:21:21,500 Yes. And. 1497 01:21:21,508 --> 01:21:23,412 When they were all sick at that cabin. 1498 01:21:23,420 --> 01:21:28,435 They were all sick, yes, but they choose to show clip after 1499 01:21:28,443 --> 01:21:33,334 clip after clip of everybody crying at the cabin with like 1500 01:21:33,342 --> 01:21:36,520 the foggy border. So it's obviously like we're 1501 01:21:36,528 --> 01:21:39,870 looking into the past. Mona's nipple rings are letting 1502 01:21:39,870 --> 01:21:44,260 us look into the past and they're just showing crying 1503 01:21:44,268 --> 01:21:48,252 clips of this Cabin Christmas. And they're happy tears. 1504 01:21:48,260 --> 01:21:53,976 You motherfucking liars. You just expect us to forget how 1505 01:21:53,976 --> 01:21:57,620 wonderful that Christmas was.

Made everyone's PJ's still. 1508 01:22:02,516 --> 01:22:06,624 Yes, they set up that tree that was so tall that it was like, oh 1509 01:22:06,624 --> 01:22:09,608 God, is it even going to fit? They were all sick. 1510 01:22:09,616 --> 01:22:12,890 They had to take the snowmobiles up to the house at first. 1511 01:22:12,898 --> 01:22:15,224 There were so many beautiful things with that house. 1512 01:22:15,232 --> 01:22:18,344 The hot tub, the ice dams that Kody was breaking down. 1513 01:22:18,352 --> 01:22:21,645 See Fond memories, A beautiful Christmas, and they're playing 1514 01:22:21,653 --> 01:22:27,467 these clips with the soundtrack of like, oh man, Christmas. 1515 01:22:27,475 --> 01:22:30,840 Before.

It's just like, I don't know, 1521 01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:45,400 these editors are nuts. Like they must be nuts. 1522 01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:48,800 Well, they think we're idiots, and most people are, and we are, 1523 01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:52,200 but we're not that dumb. No, we remember this Christmas. 1524 01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:54,840 It reminds me it was better than most of my Christmases as a 1525 01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:55,160 child. I. 1526 01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:57,160 Know like I was jealous of that Christmas. 1527 01:22:57,880 --> 01:23:00,240 I was jealous of that Brown family Christmas I. 1528 01:23:00,440 --> 01:23:02,480 Was you know. Yes. 1529 01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:06,803 If I could just stay at a chalet for Christmas, I'd be so 1530 01:23:06,803 --> 01:23:08,788 happy. Oh well, one of these days, 1531 01:23:08,796 --> 01:23:12,295 honey, we will. We'll record an episode from a 1532 01:23:12,303 --> 01:23:16,096 chalet on a hillside and we will be like we are like the Browns 1533 01:23:16,104 --> 01:23:17,938 in the chalet. We will. 1534 01:23:17,946 --> 01:23:23,540 Hold our own cult following gathering at a chalet up in the 1535 01:23:23,540 --> 01:23:26,320 mountains for the deadbeat loser family. 1536 01:23:26,328 --> 01:23:27,520 Yes. We should. 1537 01:23:27,528 --> 01:23:30,450 That's our goal, cult. This is a good idea. 1538 01:23:30,458 --> 01:23:33,088 A good goal. If you guys want us to start a 1539 01:23:33,096 --> 01:23:36,135 cult, please leave us a comment telling us that we should start 1540 01:23:36,135 --> 01:23:38,592 a cult circle. Encourage others to join our 1541 01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:41,140 cult once it started. Of course, now we're not going 1542 01:23:41,148 --> 01:23:42,921 to be like the Browns. We're actually going to be on 1543 01:23:42,929 --> 01:23:44,968 top of this. It's actually going to happen. 1544 01:23:44,976 --> 01:23:49,160 As you look me in the eye and just like, just shit yourself. 1545 01:23:49,168 --> 01:23:51,440 We'd have to stumble into starting a cult. 1546 01:23:51,448 --> 01:23:53,384 Well, never. Never say never. 1547 01:23:53,392 --> 01:23:55,754 I mean. I could quit all of my other 1548 01:23:55,762 --> 01:23:59,386 ambitions and just do the cult. There are times when I truly do 1549 01:23:59,386 --> 01:24:03,020 wonder why I am such great friends with the largest member 1550 01:24:03,020 --> 01:24:05,907 of the manosphere, and perhaps it's cult vibes. 1551 01:24:05,915 --> 01:24:09,401 Are you saying that I have natural leader vibes? 1552 01:24:09,409 --> 01:24:11,716 I think that's what I just heard. 1553 01:24:11,724 --> 01:24:16,392 I think I heard that I should be the leader of A this I'm I'm I'm 1554 01:24:16,392 --> 01:24:18,695 getting it. This is my Christmas in July 1555 01:24:18,703 --> 01:24:21,344 gift to myself. I'm starting a cult. 1556 01:24:21,352 --> 01:24:24,100 Perfect. To wrap up this episode, 1557 01:24:24,108 --> 01:24:27,128 Christine tells us that plural families can't buy homes 1558 01:24:27,136 --> 01:24:29,720 together. It's just not done. 1559 01:24:29,728 --> 01:24:35,361 And Kody says we found a way. And Christine responds. 1560 01:24:35,369 --> 01:24:40,363 It's a miracle. Kody says we found a way to 1561 01:24:40,371 --> 01:24:43,992 exist in a plural family in a monogamous world. 1562 01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:46,920 And that's how we wrap up the Christmas in July. 1563 01:24:46,928 --> 01:24:50,398 I mean, excuse me, Christmas in January episode from the Browns. 1564 01:24:50,398 --> 01:24:52,840 But the most exciting thing of 1565 01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:59,440 all was the next episode. Coming up on I got. 1566 01:24:59,440 --> 01:25:01,760 Up on at the end. I got a little chubby you guys. 1567 01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:04,560 I'm really excited. I got to head some blood flowing 1568 01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:07,080 to my previously caramel covered body parts. 1569 01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:10,280 I can't remember what the first part was, but the second part 1570 01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:15,440 was Robyn standing in a family room wearing a dress that it 1571 01:25:15,440 --> 01:25:17,680 looks like a Laura Ingalls Wilder school. 1572 01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:23,360 Teacher a floral silkish skirt and a long sleeve black shirt 1573 01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:25,840 with another long sleeve sweater over it. 1574 01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:28,160 Yes, and when she says skirt she means like ankle length. 1575 01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:30,360 Ankle length skirt like. Curtains. 1576 01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:37,200 She is not looking like a 16 year old Aeropostale pusher. 1577 01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:43,200 She is looking like a purity speech busher. 1578 01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:47,360 Purity Pusher. Purity busher, yes. 1579 01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:51,520 You guys, it's an episode we've all been waiting for and we're 1580 01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:55,040 very excited about. I'm titillated, my caramel is 1581 01:25:55,040 --> 01:26:00,920 wet, and I'm ready to hear Robyn talk about her purity. 1582 01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:07,880 How do we go from white wedding night negligee over a long 1583 01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:10,560 sleeve top? This. 1584 01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:12,160 Yeah, she looks like a Sunday school teacher. 1585 01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:15,360 Well, they are in church in their, you know, family room 1586 01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,000 because there's no real church, because it's a cult. 1587 01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:22,160 And she's there to spread the gospel, not spread her legs. 1588 01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:25,440 The opposite. Get that caramel wet enough to 1589 01:26:25,440 --> 01:26:28,960 tack those legs together and keep your purity intact. 1590 01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:34,040 I am imagining Kody treating his home like a true church now 1591 01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:38,108 and having spotlights up top that Hunter and Logan have to 1592 01:26:38,108 --> 01:26:40,680 be in charge of. And he's like, when the lights 1593 01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:43,200 are on me, No, no, look at me, look at me, look at me. 1594 01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:46,400 When the lights are on me, I am a different person. 1595 01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:50,440 I am your prophet, Kody Brown. I am not Dad the. 1596 01:26:50,440 --> 01:26:52,680 Prophet from the Brown family cul-de-sac. 1597 01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:55,400 I mean, what else would a narcissist do? 1598 01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:58,040 It's really moving to me. Touching, in fact. 1599 01:26:58,040 --> 01:26:59,360 It mirrors. What I'm going to do is starting 1600 01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:04,480 a cult. Speaking of Janelle's sweet wet 1601 01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:08,920 caramel, it's time for mustard seed and shit stain. 1602 01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:12,280 And our mustard seed, rather than just being a seed put into 1603 01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:15,040 the ground, will be a caramel covered mustard seed this 1604 01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:18,360 episode. And you know, ladies first, of 1605 01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:24,840 course. My caramel covered mustard seed 1606 01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:31,680 is going to go to. I am going to give it to Kody. 1607 01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:36,680 Hey, hold on, brace yourself. I need something to hold on OK. 1608 01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:47,400 I believe Kody stepping in to speak to Leon in obviously a 1609 01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:53,560 time of distress for Meri and Leon was the right choice. 1610 01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:56,840 Yeah. And I think a dad in the similar 1611 01:27:56,840 --> 01:28:00,947 situation might have ignored it, might have let the mom and 1612 01:28:00,947 --> 01:28:05,560 child go at it when stepping in was the right decision. 1613 01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:08,760 And that's a little ahead of his time, honestly, Yeah. 1614 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:13,840 Yeah. Because men are just not as in 1615 01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:23,200 tuned to their children's like micro emotions or there's this 1616 01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:29,400 built in innate thing. I feel like with moms that's 1617 01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:31,920 hard to explain. And you just kind of are attuned 1618 01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:35,120 to what your child needs. And it can either be super 1619 01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:39,640 overwhelming, like Meri was obviously overwhelmed with her 1620 01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:44,440 emotions for Leon and kind of feeding on it and like 1621 01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:47,840 replicating it because they're both in the same situation. 1622 01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:50,800 They're both dealing with trauma, just in a different way. 1623 01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:54,520 Trauma, I'm going to say as how they're viewing it. 1624 01:28:55,040 --> 01:29:00,000 So they're both going through a big life thing and they're, you 1625 01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:02,280 know, Meri doesn't have the right coping skills. 1626 01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:05,240 So how can Meri show Leon the right coping skills? 1627 01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:12,080 And Kody, I don't know if it's that he was smart enough to 1628 01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:15,440 recognize this or he is just used to having to deal with this 1629 01:29:15,440 --> 01:29:17,800 with Leon and Meri so much, which is what it seems like. 1630 01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:22,840 But I applaud Kody for recognizing that tumultuousness 1631 01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:27,400 that was like just going to get worse and worse and worse and 1632 01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:32,400 stepping in and actually being a dad and handling it. 1633 01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:36,160 Whether or not the way he handled it was particularly 1634 01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:39,480 great is beside like the point for what I'm. 1635 01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:44,120 Making. But given the religion, given 1636 01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:47,480 the history, given the vocabulary that the family still 1637 01:29:47,480 --> 01:29:53,800 uses, I think that this was a bit out there for him and I 1638 01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:58,280 think it was good to see it. For me, it felt a little bit 1639 01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:01,400 like Kody was almost reacting out of frustration. 1640 01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:04,040 You know what I mean? Like, I think he might have just 1641 01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:06,200 been because that's what I self identified with. 1642 01:30:06,200 --> 01:30:08,080 It's like, I've had enough. I don't want to hear this 1643 01:30:08,080 --> 01:30:10,240 anymore. Just let's fucking do something 1644 01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:13,280 other than what you're doing. And so I think there might be an 1645 01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:16,480 element of that, but I don't disagree with what you're 1646 01:30:16,480 --> 01:30:17,960 saying. I mean, it is one of the first 1647 01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:21,480 times we see Kody step up and actually try to handle something 1648 01:30:21,480 --> 01:30:24,800 with one of the kids that isn't just discipline because it's 1649 01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:27,520 usually the things we've seen, you know, as Dad's not around. 1650 01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:29,360 I need your help to discipline the kids or to keep them in 1651 01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:31,080 line. And while this is somewhat 1652 01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:35,440 keeping Leon in line, it didn't rub me the wrong way. 1653 01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:38,880 No, I think there's probably a few elements that are 1654 01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:43,480 contributing to why Kody decided to speak with Leon alone. 1655 01:30:43,480 --> 01:30:49,600 But I think for the most part, if it was out of anger, it would 1656 01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:52,600 have been handled differently because we've seen him handle 1657 01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:54,280 some of the other children with anger. 1658 01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:57,680 We saw it recently with Janelle's boys when Christine 1659 01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:00,240 was over there with her kids too. 1660 01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:03,720 And we saw him get frustrated and we saw him hit sit down and 1661 01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:06,360 literally like huffing and puffing about the situation. 1662 01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:12,994 And the way that he handled the situation with Leon and Meri 1663 01:31:12,994 --> 01:31:16,790 was like, a lot smoother and a lot either practiced because 1664 01:31:16,790 --> 01:31:21,302 he's been down that road with them before, or just calmer 1665 01:31:21,302 --> 01:31:25,399 because he understood what needed to be done and was 1666 01:31:25,399 --> 01:31:27,360 like, OK, just step back. I got this. 1667 01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:28,360 Yeah. So. 1668 01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:30,760 Listen, I mean, you're giving a mustard seed to Kody. 1669 01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:34,440 I know. And I'm not disagreeing so. 1670 01:31:34,920 --> 01:31:39,499 I am picking purely on this one instance because it stuck out 1671 01:31:39,499 --> 01:31:42,920 to me just because it's so different from what we know of 1672 01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:45,560 Kody, yeah. So I feel that. 1673 01:31:46,480 --> 01:31:49,720 Well, my mustard seed this episode, this Christmas episode 1674 01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:56,400 goes to one Janelle Brown because I enjoyed that she said 1675 01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:59,480 to us, you know, I'm actually surprisingly looking forward to 1676 01:31:59,480 --> 01:32:02,840 this caramel cook off thing. And it's because she had a 1677 01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:07,075 secret weapon, her mom there to help her and she had a couple 1678 01:32:07,075 --> 01:32:09,680 of cracks. I always love that when she's 1679 01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:14,320 doing the family mission statement work, she's always has 1680 01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:18,320 a comment like, the end is not insight or like, I'm just here 1681 01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:20,200 trying to make it through, you know? 1682 01:32:20,200 --> 01:32:24,120 And I love that because, yeah, it's it is a business thing. 1683 01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:26,600 It's not, you know, families have mission statements. 1684 01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:29,240 You know, it is what it is. How many working sessions do you 1685 01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:30,880 need? Clearly a lot. 1686 01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:33,760 And I just thought that she was funny this episode. 1687 01:32:33,760 --> 01:32:37,440 I enjoyed her laughter. And I just liked watching her 1688 01:32:37,440 --> 01:32:39,520 family continue to fill the house and whatever. 1689 01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:42,400 So I think that Janelle gets my mustard seed for this episode. 1690 01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:44,680 Janelle and Christine are a lot alike. 1691 01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:48,564 Can you see Christine make funny comments like, I'm not into 1692 01:32:48,564 --> 01:32:51,520 the my sister's closet. Oh, my God, These meetings, if I 1693 01:32:51,520 --> 01:32:53,800 show up and I'm not yawning, you're lucky, like. 1694 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:59,720 And Janelle, when she gets out of her shell, does the same type 1695 01:32:59,720 --> 01:33:00,840 of humor. Yeah. 1696 01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:05,120 And so it's just kind of unfortunate that things had to 1697 01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:07,840 play out the way that they did because you can tell that they 1698 01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:09,807 could have been allies together. 1699 01:33:09,815 --> 01:33:11,147 Yeah. Yeah. 1700 01:33:11,155 --> 01:33:13,200 And eventually they do become that. 1701 01:33:13,208 --> 01:33:15,620 But yes, there's. But I I don't know that. 1702 01:33:15,628 --> 01:33:18,509 Well, right and Kody pens them against each other the whole 9 1703 01:33:18,517 --> 01:33:22,281 yards. Now it's time for our caramel 1704 01:33:22,289 --> 01:33:26,540 centered shit stains. That doesn't make sense. 1705 01:33:26,548 --> 01:33:28,772 Shit stain centered caramels, yes. 1706 01:33:28,780 --> 01:33:31,837 Oh, caramels with a little shit stain on the outside. 1707 01:33:31,845 --> 01:33:33,930 So how do you shit stain this week? 1708 01:33:33,938 --> 01:33:36,108 What are you going to do about that shit stain? 1709 01:33:36,116 --> 01:33:38,588 Can I give it to Mona for leaving us? 1710 01:33:38,596 --> 01:33:42,950 Oh, we can't send Mona off with a shit stain. 1711 01:33:42,958 --> 01:33:46,240 Fine. I know, even though we are all 1712 01:33:46,248 --> 01:33:51,783 collectively sad. My shit stain is going to go to 1713 01:33:51,783 --> 01:33:54,440 Meri. Good choice. 1714 01:33:54,448 --> 01:34:00,002 It's because I think Meri hides things from Leon and let's Leon 1715 01:34:00,002 --> 01:34:05,350 get upset about things kind of out of selfishness and to 1716 01:34:05,358 --> 01:34:12,144 console Leon. And on top of that, I think that 1717 01:34:12,144 --> 01:34:17,135 Meri's just playing this like false victim throughout the last 1718 01:34:17,135 --> 01:34:21,601 two episodes of not getting her house when it's a product of 1719 01:34:21,601 --> 01:34:24,440 her own making. I don't know what to tell you. 1720 01:34:24,448 --> 01:34:26,904 Like it seems like your paperwork was definitely in 1721 01:34:26,912 --> 01:34:29,289 late. It didn't look as good as you 1722 01:34:29,297 --> 01:34:32,802 made it out to be. You invited your mom here before 1723 01:34:32,802 --> 01:34:35,868 even having a moving date to help you move. 1724 01:34:35,876 --> 01:34:39,958 Inferring to Leon that it was other people's fault or no they 1725 01:34:39,958 --> 01:34:42,482 know how to do their job instead of correcting like. 1726 01:34:42,490 --> 01:34:45,415 It's not that they don't know how to do their job, like 1727 01:34:45,423 --> 01:34:49,040 passing the blame. Passing the blame in a very 1728 01:34:49,048 --> 01:34:51,232 backhanded way. Like Leon doesn't understand 1729 01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:54,795 their jobs, so Leon doesn't get that they're doing their jobs. 1730 01:34:54,803 --> 01:34:57,454 Like that's bullshit. I don't even know how else to 1731 01:34:57,462 --> 01:34:59,580 explain it. It's bull shirt as. 1732 01:34:59,588 --> 01:35:01,760 Well, it's bull shirt. Listen, Meri, that shit stain's 1733 01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:03,400 been building up for a hot minute. 1734 01:35:03,408 --> 01:35:07,300 Meri has been smearing that stain all around for episodes 1735 01:35:07,308 --> 01:35:11,120 now. And I almost forgot Meri and 1736 01:35:11,128 --> 01:35:15,064 Robyn teaming up about this caramel thing. 1737 01:35:15,072 --> 01:35:21,610 Oh yeah, and Meri's comment about how lying is OK as long as 1738 01:35:21,610 --> 01:35:23,840 you're honest later or whatever. 1739 01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:31,280 The gist of that comment is very Mormon. 1740 01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:35,640 It's very hide it until it blows up in your face. 1741 01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:38,360 Right. Yeah, it's almost like she lied 1742 01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:40,240 about having a caramel allergy or something. 1743 01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:43,040 It's just disturbing. That dirty whore. 1744 01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:48,120 Well, my should stain this episode goes to her partner in 1745 01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:51,360 crime, the one who could never be a shoplifter because she's 1746 01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:54,200 too bad at lying and she's just too giddy and she's just 1747 01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:56,120 laughing like an out of control schoolgirl. 1748 01:35:56,320 --> 01:36:00,680 And that would be Robyn Brown. Robyn should stain Brown. 1749 01:36:01,400 --> 01:36:02,920 The Robyn. Alice Brown. 1750 01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:06,680 Oh, excuse me, Alice. That's right, Her legal name is 1751 01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:10,600 finally there. It's finally Robyn Alice Brown 1752 01:36:11,040 --> 01:36:13,520 changing her last name for the 4th or 5th time. 1753 01:36:14,440 --> 01:36:16,360 Yeah, that's a little shit stainy to me. 1754 01:36:16,600 --> 01:36:18,840 That's just purely based on trying to give Robyn a shit 1755 01:36:18,840 --> 01:36:20,320 stain. Of course, I don't really care 1756 01:36:20,320 --> 01:36:21,640 about people's last names changing. 1757 01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:24,520 Purely based on the fact that she was probably trying to 1758 01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:27,600 commit fraud again and avoid credit card debt. 1759 01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:30,000 Well, this is it. Fraudulent, Fraudulent Robyn. 1760 01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:32,280 Allegedly. Allegedly, of course. 1761 01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:36,560 And that laughter was just unbearable. 1762 01:36:36,680 --> 01:36:39,280 The giddy, giddy, giddy. I'm a 13 year old having fun 1763 01:36:39,280 --> 01:36:42,320 with my friend. It was like, bitch, you're a 1764 01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:44,040 fucking grown ass woman. This is insane. 1765 01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:46,720 I mean, when you and I laugh like that, it's not because 1766 01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:50,200 we're at a store buying caramels to trick our your husband. 1767 01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:52,160 No your husband, no your. Husband. 1768 01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:55,720 And you're thinking our caramels are from his mother? 1769 01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:59,103 I mean, the entire thing is just not really that funny or cool 1770 01:36:59,103 --> 01:37:01,520 or interesting. And she made it seem like they 1771 01:37:01,520 --> 01:37:03,160 were having the time of their lives. 1772 01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:06,400 It was full of second hand embarrassment for me. 1773 01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:10,920 It made me think that Meri and her had had some drinks 1774 01:37:10,920 --> 01:37:14,664 beforehand and Meri could handle her alcohol and Robyn 1775 01:37:14,664 --> 01:37:15,950 couldn't. Oh yeah. 1776 01:37:15,958 --> 01:37:19,010 It felt like a teenage girl drinking for the first time with 1777 01:37:19,010 --> 01:37:23,584 her friends. Or just someone who doesn't 1778 01:37:23,592 --> 01:37:27,568 understand reality and thinks that stupid situations are 1779 01:37:27,576 --> 01:37:30,704 funny. Like the whole thing just didn't 1780 01:37:30,704 --> 01:37:33,218 make sense laughing that fucking hard. 1781 01:37:33,226 --> 01:37:37,700 It was cool and it was real and it was weird and I'm 1782 01:37:37,708 --> 01:37:41,622 preemptively giving her part of my should stain because of our 1783 01:37:41,630 --> 01:37:44,060 coming up on with her future purity speech. 1784 01:37:44,068 --> 01:37:48,180 Although we haven't heard it, it is definitely giving me a 1785 01:37:48,188 --> 01:37:53,462 sneeiry taste in my mouth.

This user insert name says the 1806 01:39:10,310 --> 01:39:14,116 shit stain is Robyn for trying to launch their polygamous 1807 01:39:14,124 --> 01:39:17,944 centric business at a convention in Saint George where even she 1808 01:39:17,952 --> 01:39:22,265 admits they hate polygamous. It's about as ridiculous as 1809 01:39:22,273 --> 01:39:24,312 trying to sell steak at a vegan convention. 1810 01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:28,300 Which is very true. Their mustard seed goes to 1811 01:39:28,308 --> 01:39:31,268 Christine for her blatant honesty and good support during 1812 01:39:31,268 --> 01:39:33,126 my sister wife's closet meetings. 1813 01:39:33,134 --> 01:39:36,596 And an honorable mention goes to the woman at the convention that 1814 01:39:36,596 --> 01:39:39,696 said she was going to get money and never came back. 1815 01:39:39,704 --> 01:39:43,500 Oh, when she told Robyn I'm going to go to the bank to get 1816 01:39:43,508 --> 01:39:46,694 some cash and then never returned, that was a beautiful 1817 01:39:46,702 --> 01:39:50,000 moment.

Of course, as as the world turns 1823 01:40:07,543 --> 01:40:10,255 as is. How one operates as someone 1824 01:40:10,263 --> 01:40:13,580 allergic to caramel.

Don't like Robyn? 1829 01:40:26,548 --> 01:40:31,775 Don't like to laugh out loud as much as a 1 Robyn Brown does? 1830 01:40:31,783 --> 01:40:35,280 I love that if people just started leaving their mustard 1831 01:40:35,288 --> 01:40:38,470 seeds and shit stains on every episode that would be so fun to 1832 01:40:38,470 --> 01:40:39,868 read.
